Ervin Bauer (1890-1938) was the first to build a general molecular-based biological theory. He defined the basic principles of theoretical biology from a thermodynamic perspective, focusing on the capacity of biological systems to produce and support the state of sustainable non-equilibrium. His central work "Theoretical Biology" (1935) was written long before modern advances in molecular biology, genetics, and information theory. Ervin Bauer and his wife Stefánia were executed in Stalin's Great Terror. This paper presents a brief introduction to Ervin Bauer's life and includes his short biography.
欧文·鲍尔(Ervin Bauer,1890-1938 年)是第一位建立基于分子的一般生物学理论的人。他从热力学的角度定义了理论生物学的基本原则,重点关注生物系统产生和支持可持续非平衡状态的能力。他的主要著作《理论生物学》(Theoretical Biology)于 1935 年出版,远早于现代分子生物学、遗传学和信息论的发展。欧文·鲍尔和他的妻子斯特凡尼亚(Stefánia)在斯大林的大恐怖中被处决。本文简要介绍了欧文·鲍尔的生平,并收录了他的简短传记。
