Some personal reflections are made about the philosophical posture of Erwin Schrodinger, as exposed in one of his book "Ma Conception du Monde". It is argued that the Taoist view of the world, as pursued by Schrodinger, although characterized by the dialectical struggle between opposite truths does not contain the temporal dimension, the unique which allows an evolving understanding of phenomena and objects that compose this world in constant evolution. In our point of view, only a genetic view - which is missing in the actual scientific paradigm - will bring a more deep explanation and understanding of Reality.
