Published as a small book with the same title, those lectures were widely read, called the attention of scholars from many fields of knowledge and found correspondence in a large part ofthe conceptual grounds of the molecular biology of the second half of the 20th century. Schrödinger s ideas did not lose interest, to the point they were celebrated 50 and 70 years later in scientific meetings also namedWhat Is Life? In the present study we first sought to elucidate the reasons for Schrödinger to have chosen the nature of life as the subject of his lectures. Then we investigated the contemporary reception to the ideas discussed in them. Third we analyzed several or the presentations made by reputed scientists in the 1993 meeting aiming to establish the relevance of Schrödinger s ideas for the development of the life sciences in the course of those 50 years. Finally we emphasize the interest such ideas still arose 20 years later, as reflected in the specialized media and more particularly by J.C.Venter, one of the first to sequence the human genome, in the last What Is Life?lecture, from 2013, this time focusing on the 21st century perspective / As palestras What Is Life?, de 1943, consistiram numa série de especulações de um físico, Erwin Schrödinger, laureado com o Prêmio Nobel, sobre um tema fundamental de uma área que não era a sua: a naturezada vida. Publicadasna forma de um pequeno livro homônimo, tais palestras foram lidas amplamente, chamaram a atenção de estudiosos de diversas áreas e encontraram correspondência, em grande parte, com a base conceitual da biologia molecular da segunda metade do século XX. As ideias de Schrödinger não perderam interesse, sendo celebradas 50 e 70 anos mais tarde em eventos também intitulados WhatIs Life? No presente trabalho procuramos elucidar, primeiro, o que levou Schrödinger a escolher esse tema para suas palestras no Trinity College Dubline as ideias discutidas nelas.A seguir, verificamos o recebimento dado aos conteúdos apresentados pelo físico por seus contemporâneos. Em terceiro lugar, analisamos várias das apresentações realizadas por destacados cientistas no evento de 1993, visando identificar a relevância das ideias de Schrödinger para o desenvolvimento das ciências da vida nesses 50 anos. Finalmente, ressaltamos o interesse que tais ideias conservariam20 anos depois, tal como refletidas na mídia especializada, e mais particularmente, por J.C. Venter, um dos primeiros a sequenciar no genoma humano, na última edição das palestras What Is Life?, de 2013, dessa vez com o subtítulo: A perspectiva do século XXI
