This text provides a critical analysis of contemporary genetics, highlighting its inherent one-sidedness caused by a reductionist and causal approach to biological processes. The author argues that genetics focuses excessively on genetic information while neglecting the essential activities required for reading and transcribing this information, which are prerequisites for both cell division and generational change. A fundamental deficiency lies in the disregard for the subjects or agents of these activities, as activity without a subject is conceptually groundless. The text emphasizes the necessity of identifying various levels of subjectivity, ranging from intracellular and cellular to multicellular organs and the organism as a whole. It contends that the concept of organic wholeness remains unthinkable without a redefined understanding of the subject as an organic entity. Given that subjectivity eludes traditional objective inquiry, the author calls for an indispensable collaboration between science and philosophy. Philosophers are urged to take the initiative and revise their own metaphysical foundations, rooted in ancient Greek traditions, to better comprehend the active nature of life.
