Kant denied biology the status of proper science, yet his account
of the organism has received much attention from both philosophical
and historical perspectives. This book argues that Kant's influence
on biology in the British Isles is in part due to misunderstandings
of his philosophy. Highlighting these misunderstandings exposes how
Kant influenced various aspects of scientific method, despite the
underlying incompatibility between transcendental idealism and
scientific naturalism. This book raises criticism against
scientific naturalism as it demonstrates how some concepts that are
central to biology have been historically justified in ways that
are incompatible with naturalism. Approaching current issues in
philosophy of biology from a Kantian orientation offers new
perspectives to debates including our knowledge of laws of nature,
the unity of science, and our understanding of organisms. Moreover,
new avenues are forged to demonstrate the benefits of adopting
Kant-inspired approaches to issues in contemporary philosophy of
science.
