This volume explores questions about conceptual change from both
scientific and philosophical viewpoints by analyzing the recent
history of evolutionary developmental biology. It features revised
papers that originated from the workshop "Conceptual Change in
Biological Science: Evolutionary Developmental Biology, 1981-2011"
held at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in
Berlin in July 2010. The Preface has been written by Ron Amundson.
In these papers, philosophers and biologists compare and contrast
key concepts in evolutionary developmental biology and their
development since the original, seminal Dahlem conference on
evolution and development held in Berlin in 1981. Many of the
original scientific participants from the 1981 conference are also
contributors to this new volume and, in conjunction with other
expert biologists and philosophers specializing on these topics,
provide an authoritative, comprehensive view on the subject. Taken
together, the papers supply novel perspectives on how and why the
conceptual landscape has shifted and stabilized in particular ways,
yielding insights into the dynamic epistemic changes that have
occurred over the past three decades. This volume will appeal to
philosophers of biology studying conceptual change, evolutionary
developmental biologists focused on comprehending the genesis of
their field and evaluating its future directions, and historians of
biology examining this period when the intersection of ev olution
and development rose again to prominence in biological science.
