Genes in Development : Re-reading the Molecular Paradigm PDF
Edited by Neumann-Held Eva M. Neumann-Held, Rehmann-Sutter Christoph Rehmann-Sutter
Part of the Science and Cultural Theory series
Description
Contributors discuss alternatives to the programmatic view of dna, including the developmental systems approach, methodical culturalism, the molecular process concept of the gene, the hermeneutic theory of description, and process structuralist biology. None of the approaches cast doubt on the notion that dna is tremendously important to biological life on earth; rather, contributors examine different ideas of how dna should be represented, evaluated, and explained. Just as ideas about genetic codes have reached far beyond the realm of science, the reconceptualizations of genetic theory in this volume have broad implications for ethics, philosophy, and the social sciences.
