Francisco Varela ( Santiago, September 7, 1946 – May 28, 2001 in Paris) was a Chilean biologist and philosopher, who, together with Humberto Maturana, is most well-known for introducing the concept of autopoiesis to biology. He is also a proponent of the embodied philosophy which claims that human cognition and consciousness can only be understood in terms of the physical structures in which it arises, namely the body, and the environment in which the body interacts. ...more on Wikipedia about "Francisco Varela"

Robert Rosen ( June 27, 1934, Brooklyn, New York - December 28, 1998, Rochester, New York) was an American theoretical biologist and, later in life, a Professor of Biophysics at Dalhousie University until he retired. His main interest was developing a specific definition of complexity and an ensuing theoretical framework, now called "Rosennean Complexity". His main focus was the question: " what is life?" ("why are organisms alive?") ...more on Wikipedia about "Robert Rosen"
