Condition: very good. Dordrecht : D. Reidel, 1975. Hardcover. No dustjacket. xiii,454 pp. (Synthese 84; Boston Studies in the Philosophy of Science, 27). Library stamps. - The philosophy of biology should move to the center of the philosophy of science - a place it has not been accorded since the time of Mach. Physics was the pa…radigm of science, and its shadow falls across con temporary philosophy of biology as well, in a variety of contexts: reduction, organization and system, biochemical mechanism, and the models of law and explanation which derive from the Duhem-Popper Hempel tradition. This volume, we think, offers ample evidence of how good contempo rary work in the philosophical understanding of biology has become. Marjorie Grene and Everett Mendelsohn aptly combine a deep philo sophical appreciation of conceptual issues in biology with an historical understanding of the radical changes in the science of biology since the 19th century. In this book, they present essays which probe such historical and methodological questions as reducibility, levels of organization, function and teleology, and the range of issues emerging from evolution ary theory and the species problem. Condition : very good copy. ISBN 9789027705952. Keywords : PHILOSOPHY, philosophy philosophy of science.
