It is known what is a life, people continue asking soon , can we create the life ? The research field of a new exploration complexity emerged at the end of the eighties of the 20th century and the beginning of the 1990s, this research field not only provides the unique life idea but also declare, we can act the part of God soon, create the new life except forming the existing life material . The new research field to cause a sensation whole artificial life of scientific circles for a time. It is the result that disciplines , such as biology , computer science and philosophy ,etc. crossed. Though the thought of the artificial life is early may trace back to the mathematician and computer scientist's picture fairy of the forties and the fifties (A. M. Turing), and The work of Feng Neuman (John von Neumann ), however, until the fast , strong computer has appeared at the end of the eighties and the beginning of the 1990s, can just produce and get fast development as the artificial life in a new research field. Research center of U.S.A.'s famous exploration complexity: Santa Fe research institute (Santa Fe Institute ) is it pregnant with the ground to be studied by artificial life. The convocation of the first international artificial life seminar which the research institute of Sa nta Fe organized was marking the emerging formally of this research field in 1987. The international conference that held artificial life once every two years after this , some exciting achievement reports came out at each meeting . The artificial life not only challenges traditional biology but also challenge the views , such as our most basic society , morals , philosophy ,etc..The first part of article is an introduction, narrate the current situations of the reason , purpose , meaning and research why this text studies mainly.Second part ,Pass " production of the all-purpose computer " correctly, " automatic machine of cell that can be bred ", " ' life game ' , health of Wei " , " ' Chaos edge ' theory " and " hereditary algorithm and complexity " five summary of, have explained the production , rise , evolution of the artificial life.The third part ,Have introduced the philosophy question in the artificial life. Have summed up the development of the traditional life view of the artificial life from 7 respects at first; Secondly point out the theory meaning of the artificial life; Analysed and put forward the philosophy question that the artificial life exist finally.The fourth part ,Dispute about the theory of the possibility of the artificial life. Through the weak view different from strong artificial life of artificial life, the detailed , concrete one give exposition and analysed.The fifth part Conclusion of article, is it summarize and summarize to go on to full text , emphasize artificial life to is it think essential issue of life to come from visual angle that calculate. Announce the essence of the life through the programming method of the computer.In a word, the artificial life entity contains the extremely deep philosophy meaning. It tells us, on the universe , can not there is one kind in the feasible way of the life that realizes. This requires that we want to keep more open psychology while treat the new life form appearing on the earth and explore extraterrestrial life.
