This book examines sociobiology and evolution from the scientific
and philosophical perspectives. Both sociobiology and evolution are
areas of modern biology fraught with controversy and
misunderstanding, yet fundamental to a coherent view of human life.
For scientists and philosophers of science, at issue are the basic
underpinnings of biology: explanation, determination, teleology,
reductionism, and hierarchy. Professor Dyke describes the
controversies involved, and argues that progress in sociobiology
and evolution is hindered by an outmoded philosophical view of
science - one that does not adequately take into account recent
advances in our understanding of basic biological processes. The
author aims to shift the focus from a philosophical understanding
of biology to a dynamic, philosophically aware science.
