ABSTRACT
Chirality (or handedness as the word stems from the greek χι´ρ
meaning hand), refers to the lack or absence of mirror symmetry
of many systems [1-3]. It is a fascinating property having important
consequences in every areas of science. For example, it is connected
to several fundamental problems such as the apparition of life,
the origin of homochirality (that is of single handedness) of many
biomolecules [4], and also to the asymmetry between left and
right-handed fermions with respect to electroweak interaction [5].
Historically, I. Kant was one of the first eminent scholar to point out
the philosophical significance of mirror operation. Already in 1783
in his celebrated “Prolegomena to any future metaphysics,” he wrote
