Description
The Philosophy of Biology: An Episodic History by Marjorie Grene and David Depew, published in 2004, offers a comprehensive exploration of the philosophical questions that have shaped the field of biology. The authors trace the development of biological thought through key historical episodes, beginning with Aristotle's foundational contributions and progressing through significant figures and debates up to contemporary discussions. The book examines how philosophical perspectives have influenced biological research and how, in turn, biological discoveries have impacted philosophical discourse. By focusing on pivotal moments and thinkers, Grene and Depew provide readers with an in-depth understanding of the dynamic interplay between philosophy and biology throughout history.
