Cambridge Studies in Philosophy and Biology

Biological Complexity and Integrative Pluralism (Cambridge Studies in Philosophy and Biology) by Mitchell, Sandra D. published by Cambridge University Press Hardcover

Rate this book
This collection of essays by a leading philosopher of science defends integrative pluralism as the best description for today's complexity of scientific inquiry. The tendency of some scientists to reduce all theories to a few fundamental laws of the most basic particles that populate our universe is not appropriate for the biological sciences, which study multi-component, multi-level, evolved complex systems. This book will be of interest to students and professionals in the philosophy of science.
