Review
--Philip Kitcher, University of California, San Diego
" For biologists interested in evolutionary systematics and for philosophers concerned with some aspects of inductive and causal inference, this book will be a must. "Reconstructing the Past" is full of valuable clarifications, methodological insights, and rigorous argumentation. It is an excellent contribution to philosophy of biology and philosophy of science generally." --Philip Kitcher, University of California, San Diego
