Description
This volume from the Boston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science series presents Marjorie Grene's incisive essays examining the study and nature of living systems through both classical philosophy and modern epistemological inquiry. Grene approaches her work as both a critically intelligent learner and an imaginatively original thinker, bridging the domains of philosophy of science and metaphysics with equal authority. Her papers provoke stimulating discussion and critique on fundamental questions about how we understand biological nature. Published by Springer's Kluwer Academic Publishers, this collection is essential reading for students, colleagues, and anyone engaged with philosophical approaches to biology and the philosophy of science.
