By combining excerpts from key historical writings with editors’ introductions and further reading material, Philosophy of Biology: An Anthology offers a comprehensive, accessible, and up-to-date collection of the field’s most significant works.
- Addresses central questions such as ‘What is life?’ and ‘How did it begin?’, and the most current research and arguments on evolution and developmental biology
- Editorial notes throughout the text define, clarify, and qualify ideas, concepts and arguments
- Includes material on evolutionary psychology and evolutionary developmental biology not found in other standard philosophy of biology anthologies
- Further reading material assists novices in delving deeper into research in philosophy of biology
"Nevertheless, this new anthology is a useful addition to the existing collection of building blocks from which introductory courses in philosophy of biology are constructed." (Acta Biotheor, 1 June 2013)
"Philosophy of Biology: An Anthology has selections that make it easy to teach evolutionary theory, clear up common misconceptions, and introduce students to genuinely important philosophical problems." (Science & Education, 2010)
