Is life a purely physical process? What is human nature? Which
of our traits is essential to us? In this volume, Daniel McShea and
Alex Rosenberg a " a biologist and a philosopher, respectively a "
join forces to create a new gateway to the philosophy of biology;
making the major issues accessible and relevant to biologists and
philosophers alike.
Exploring concepts such as supervenience; the controversies
about genocentrism and genetic determinism; and the debate about
major transitions central to contemporary thinking about
macroevolution; the authors lay out the broad terms in which we
should assess the impact of biology on human capacities, social
institutions and ethical values.
