Description
Philosophy of Biology is a rapidly expanding field. It is concerned with explanatory concepts in evolution, genetics, and ecology. This
collection of 25 essays by leading researchers provides an overview of the state of the field. These essays are wholly new; none of them
could have been written even ten years ago. They demonstrate how philosophical analysis has been able to contribute to sometimes contested
areas of scientific theory making.
