This paper discusses how recent thermodynamic theories, primarily based on Prigogine's evolutionary physics, give rice to a new science for understanding the nature of living systems. Contributes by researchers such as Vermodsky Lovelock, Ulanowicz, Barbieri, Jorgensen and Svirezhev enhanced the key role of thermodynamics to lead the foundation for a new description of nature. They highlighted the theoretical basis of an unexplored set of scientific tools for a deeper insight into the evolutionary nature of living systems. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
