Description

Explore the deep connection between biological science and metaphysics in Organisms and Personal Identity. This scholarly work by Routledge examines the extensive philosophical career of David Wiggins, providing a clear analysis of his integrated body of work. The text investigates Wiggins' conceptualist-realism and his specific sortal theory 'D' to determine how these elements function within his systematic metaphysics. Readers will gain a better understanding of how Wiggins' human being theory operates and how his approach to the philosophy of biology informs his broader philosophical views. By rectifying common misinterpretations and analyzing the relationships between different aspects of his work, this book clarifies the biological anti-reductionist perspective. It is an essential resource for those studying the history and philosophy of biology, offering a structured look at how organismal identity and personal identity intersect.
