AB - The aim of this paper is to disclose the problems of a modern scientific concept of life and to claim that we need to define a new concept of life.
The modern scientific concept of life which was based on theories of evolution and gene has exerted an effect on the domains of knowledge of human society, politics and ethics beyond the realm of biology. This effect claims to support reductionism through the modern scientific concept of life, which exceeds simple theoretical exchanges. Therefore, there are attempts to embrace other domains of knowledge through this concept which is regarded as a foundation for modern science. But whether this attempt is reasonable or not should be carefully reexamined because there are reasons to doubt some justifications of the scientific concept of life. Though it is evident that the scientific concept of life was developed by theories of evolution and gene, it is obscure whether this concept is supported by these theories. This being so, I will try to explain why this concept is obscure and that this concept is deficient to be foundation of reductionism and eliminates phenomena of life.
Then, I will examine where we can seek for the possibility of a new concept of life.
