Abstract

The philosophical problem of modern biology is creating a general theory of life. The global task of theoretical biology is to develop a system of principles of vital activity of organic matter, to unite empirical facts into an integral system, and to understand and explain them as manifestations of a common essence. Theoretical biology should be based on fundamental principles of two levels: universal principles of natural science as a whole and specific principles of vital activity of biological objects.
