Robert Rosen wrote extensively about many scientific subjects, with a research stream that always circled back to the essential question of 'What is life?' Below you can access most of his published work, as well as some unpublished notes, including the primary ideas that led to the development of Life Itself I: Epistemology, and its intended sequel, Life Itself II: Ontology.
