1 A ‘chiral’ form is asymmetric in such a way that the form and its mirror image (or enantiomer) are not superimposable. For Levi’s degree and for other biographical information mentioned below, see Angier; Thomson. Levi returned to the subject of his thesis and of principles of asymmetry in general, linking them to key themes in his own thought, in an important later lecture, “Asymmetry and Life” in English in Primo Levi: Black Hole of Auschwitz, pp. 142-59.
