What are individuals? How can they be identified? These are crucial
questions for philosophers and scientists alike. Criteria of
individuality seem to differ markedly between metaphysics and the
empirical sciences - and this might well explain why no work has
hitherto attempted to relate the contributions of metaphysics,
physics and biology on this question. This timely volume brings
together various strands of research into 'individuality',
examining how different sciences handle the issue, and reflecting
on how this scientific work relates to metaphysical concerns. The
collection makes a major contribution to clarifying and overcoming
obstacles to the construction of a general conception of the
individual adequate for both physics and biology, and perhaps even
beyond.
