During the 20th century, biologists were obsessed with the studying cells, molecules, and genes in order to resolve the mysteries of living phenomena. The center of such endeavor was geneticists who tried to find out the structures of genetic material; and their efforts were typically reductionistic approach dissecting living beings into their components. Last 20 years, many biologists realized that material structures might not be able to provide sufficient key for understanding life, and they have been employing so called system approach through which living phenomena could be studied with holistic viewpoints. This article explicates major issues on the system biology as the historical and epistemological backgrounds of the systematic recognition of life; it also suggests the relationship between the systems biology and the organization theory as advocated by Lamarck, or between the systems biology and the epigenetics as practiced by the mid-20th century biologists. The article argues that system biology of the post genomic era has common aspects with organization theory or with epigenetics in favor of their holistic approaches against reductionistic approaches in their studies on the living phenomena.
