Abstract

This contribution gives a brief overview of the Dynamic Kinetic Stability (DKS) concept. The concept appears to offer new insights into the central questions of biology – what is life, how it emerged, how would one make it, as well as explaining in basic physicochemical terms the truly remarkable characteristics that life so clearly manifests.

Keywords: Thermodynamic stability, Dynamic kinetic stability, Teleonomy, Purpose, Abiogenesis, Darwinian theory, Evolution, Origin of life.
