Beschreibung
Mainstream evolutionary biology, despite its successes, fails to answer three fundamental questions: Where does biological form come from? Why does development follow ordered, purposeful trajectories? And what is the place of consciousness in nature? These silences are not accidental. They stem from a materialist and mechanist worldview - of which Darwinism is the most influential expression - that excludes teleology, form, and agency from its explanatory vocabulary, reducing evolution to a blind filter of random variations and consciousness to an epiphenomenon of neural complexity. The Evolutio Unfolding Theory (EUT) confronts these lacunae head-on. It begins from a single logical principle - the complex cannot be generated from the simpler - and deduces a complete ontology of evolution as the ordered actualization of a virtual matrix of formally structured layers. Within this framework, evolution is not a blind accumulation of random mutations, but a purposive unfolding of pre-existing formal potentials. Teleology is restored as a real formal cause (the final cause is the formal cause). Consciousness is not an emergent property but the intrinsic condition of access to the virtual, ontologically unified with agency. Drawing on historical analysis, ideological critique, empirical evidence from network-based studies, and a systematic extraction of necessary consequences, the EUT demonstrates that randomness, branching pathways, and emergence ex nihilo are excluded by the very logic of unfolding. It offers a life-centered science - a necessary correction to a biology that has forgotten its proper subject: life as an agentic and teleological process in a conscious and purposeful cosmos. This volume presents the definitive, canonical formulation of the EUT.

Über den Autor
Dr. Agustín Ostachuk is a Transdisciplinary Scientific Researcher born in Argentina. He is devoted to the Big Questions of Life and the Nature of Reality/Existence. His main research area is Life Evolution and Development, from both a theoretical-philosophical (Theoretical Biology, Philosophy of Biology) and an empirical-biological (Evolutionary Biology, Evo-Devo) approach. Agustín Ostachuk is the author of the "Evolutio Unfolding Theory", published as "A Theory of Evolution as a Process of Unfolding" in 2020, a theory that challenges prevalent assumptions about Evolution, transcends the false and stagnant dichotomy between Intelligent Design (ID) and Darwinism, and proposes an evolutionary process carried out by teleological-purposeful formal agents contained in morphogenetic fields. He is the Founding Director of EVOLUTIO: A Research Center for Evolution and Development, a new research space for the development of new ideas without the constraints and limitations established by the scientific-academic system. The objective of the center is to investigate new conceptions and cosmovisions on biological evolution and development, but also to study the necessary conditions for the evolution and development of a healthy, good-living society, harmoniously integrated with nature, and in which life and not economy is at the center of its existence. His first book, "Eutopian Life: a Thinking Life-Science for a Rooted Dwelling on our Home-Earth" (2024), proposes abandoning the utopian-dystopian reason to embrace a eutopian life, a new mode of existence in which man needs to regain his rootedness with Earth in order to once again think and live in harmony with himself and with nature.
