Foundations of Biophilosophy

Over the past three decades, the philosophy of biology has emerged from the shadow
of the philosophy of physics to become a respectable and thriving philosophical
subdiscipline. In their book, the authors take a fresh look at the life sciences and their
philosophy from a strictly realist and emergentist-naturalist perspective. They outline a
unified and science-oriented philosophical framework that enables them to clarify many
foundational and philosophical issues in biology. Thus, this book should be of interest
to both life scientists and philosophers and is suitable as a textbook for courses at the
advanced levels as well as for independent study.
