Description: Contemporary Debates in Philosophy of Biology, Hardcover by Ayala, Francisco J. (EDT); Arp, Robert (EDT), ISBN 1405159987, ISBN-13 9781405159982, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UK For philosophers, biologists, and students, Ayala (biological sciences, U. of California, Irvine) and Arp, an analyst interested in the philosophy of biology and ontology in the informatics sense, compile 20 essays on current debates in the philosophy of biology. Presented in a debate format, the essays offer different sides of one question, such as whether traits have evolved because of a past advantage, whether species are real, whether selection operates primarily on genes, whether microevolution and macroevolution are governed by the same processes, whether memetics provide a useful way for understanding cultural evolution, whether there is a place for intelligent design in the philosophy of biology, and evolutionary developmental biology versus the neo-Darwinian paradigm. Contributors work in psychology, philosophy, sciences, and philosophy of biology in the US and Europe. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
