This volume addresses fundamental issues in the philosophy of
science in the context of two most intriguing fields: biology and
economics. Written by authorities and experts in the philosophy of
biology and economics, Mechanism and Causality in Biology and
Economics provides a structured study of the concepts of mechanism
and causality in these disciplines and draws careful juxtapositions
between philosophical apparatus and scientific practice. By
exploring the issues that are most salient to the contemporary
philosophies of biology and economics and by presenting comparative
analyses, the book serves as a platform not only for gaining mutual
understanding between scientists and philosophers of the life
sciences and those of the social sciences, but also for sharing
interdisciplinary research that combines both philosophical
concepts in both fields. The book begins by defining the concepts
of mechanism and causality in biology and economics, respectively.
The second and third parts investigate philosophical perspectives
of various causal and mechanistic issues in scientific practice in
the two fields. These two sections include chapters on causal
issues in the theory of evolution; experiments and scientific
discovery; representation of causal relations and mechanism by
models in economics. The concluding section presents
interdisciplinary studies of various topics concerning
extrapolation of life sciences and social sciences, including
chapters on the philosophical investigation of conjoining
biological and economic analyses with, respectively, demography,
medicine and sociology.
