Abstract

This note is motivated by various commentaries which have critically analyzed our contribution to a personal perspective on the conceptual difficulties that mathematics meets when attempting to describe the complexity of living matter, and specifically on the challenging goal of developing a mathematical theory for the evolution of living systems. The commentaries (Banasiak and Lachowicz, 2011; Freguglia and Bazzani, 2011; Herrero, 2011; Kolev, 2011; Mamontov, 2011) 3, 17, 22, 24 and 25 have stimulated further reasonings that induce us to look ahead to new research perspectives that are critically analyzed in this note.
