Abstract

This paper explores the idea that life comprises a language-like system. The arguments are carried out against the background of the neo-Darwinian theory of evolution. The principal conclusion is the dilemma that if life is a language-like system, then certain concepts are missing from the Darwinian paradigm; if not, then Darwinian thought is suspicious in the sense that its principles do not naturally apply to cognate disciplines.
