metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article provides a critical analysis of the representation of the Living as a subject that
  implements operations of logical and computational type. It is shown that the foundations
  for transferring the predicate ‘logical’ to the Living are not only general trend for objectification
  of logic (its embodiment in physical processes of computing machines) but also
  explicit informational and teleonomic aspects of its existence, which create the appearance
  that it calculates the direction and result of its actions, implements behavioural algorithms
  etc. Cases of genome and brain are considered as the most obvious contenders for organic
  logico-computational systems. It is shown that, despite some analogies (partially discrete
  character, ‘program-like’ determinism of functioning, similarity of some bioprocesses with
  logical connectives and inferences), there are not enough reasons to recognize the presence
  of the logical in the biological. Two main counterarguments are proposed: 1. Ontological
  one: these systems belong to the living matter, for which any algorithmization is an inevitable
  simplification. Life is an autopoietic continuum, where the components are in indissoluble
  totality. 2. Epismetological one: nevertheless, logic is an attribute of human abstract
  thinking, and its extrapolation to the living is an implicit return to anthropomorphism. It
  is concluded that the concept of ‘bio-logic’ is relevant if it is understood as a concretization
  of reasoning modes that take into account qualitative specifics of the life as its object, and
  is irrelevant as an explicit hypostasis of logico-computational phenomena as its ontological
  properties.
