Description
Explore the complex relationship between teleological thinking and modern biology in this scholarly work from Springer. As part of the Studies in the History of Modern Science series, this book examines how biologists navigate the tension between physical models and the language of purposiveness. While modern biology often resists teleology, researchers frequently use terms that imply purpose in living forms. This text analyzes the shift from traditional views to an era dominated by physics and uncertainty. It investigates how biological language has adapted to describe the strategies of individual organisms, even when those descriptions seem to conflict with purely mechanical models. This is an essential resource for those studying the historiography of science and the evolution of biological thought.
