Biological Systematics: History and Theory: Species and Systematics
Autor Igor Pavlinoven Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 sep 2022
- Considers the conceptual history of systematics as the framework of evolutionary epistemology
- Builds a hierarchically organized quasi-axiomatic system of taxonomic theory
- Contends that more reductionist taxonomic concepts are less objective
- Supports taxonomic pluralism by non-classic philosophy of science as a normal condition of systematics
- Documents that "taxonomic puzzles" result from conflict between monistic and pluralistic attitudes
