Biological Identity: Perspectives from Metaphysics and the Philosophy of Biology: History and Philosophy of Biology
Editat de Anne Sophie Meincke, John Dupréen Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 apr 2022
This volume addresses this tension, exploring to what extent it can be dissolved. For this purpose, the volume presents the first selection of essays exclusively focused on biological identity and written by experts in metaphysics, the philosophy of biology and biology. The resulting cross-disciplinary dialogue paves the way for a convincing account of biological identity that is both metaphysically constructive and scientifically informed, and will be of interest to metaphysicians, philosophers of biology and theoretical biologists.
