Canguilhem and Continental Philosophy of Biology, Paperback / softback Book

Canguilhem and Continental Philosophy of Biology Paperback / softback

Edited by Giuseppe Bianco, Charles T. Wolfe, Gertrudis Van de Vijver

Part of the History, Philosophy and Theory of the Life Sciences series

Paperback / softback

Description

This edited volume presents papers on this alternative philosophy of biology that could be called “continental philosophy of biology,” and the variety of positions and solutions that it has spawned.

In doing so, it contributes to debates in the history and philosophy of science and the history of philosophy of science, as well as to the craving for ‘history’ and/or ‘theory’ in the theoretical biological disciplines.

In addition, however, it also provides inspiration for a broader image of philosophy of biology, in which these traditional issues may have a place.

The volume devotes specific attention to the work of Georges Canguilhem, which is central to this alternative tradition of “continental philosophy of biology”.

This is the first collection on Georges Canguilhem and the Continental tradition in philosophy of biology.

The book should be of interest to philosophers of biology, continental philosophers, historians of biology and those interested in broader traditions in philosophy of science.
