Contents

When he is not doing science, natural scientist Pier Luigi Luisi looks for the purpose of life within the structure and function of life itself. and extrapolate life's purpose from the activities of living organisms. He graduated in Pisa. He holds the view the natural scientists should look for the purpose of life within the structure and function of life itself.

Luisi has suggested that the concepts of "purpose" offered by science are a "mere mental construction" which depend on the social and religious traditions of individuals in the scientific community.

In 1985 Luisi founded the "Cortona Week", an international, multi-discipline conference that studies "Natural Sciences and the Wholeness of Life". Currently he is director of the Synthetic Biology and Supramolecular Chemistry Laboratory and professor in the Biology Department at the Roma Tre University.
