Agustín Ostachuk

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. In the first case, he works on theoretical and conceptual issues surrounding the theory of evolution. In the second case, he develops scientific research in the framework of Evolution and Development (Evo-Devo), using invertebrates (mollusks and arthropods) as working models. 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 new 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.
