Knowledge of Life Today presents the thoughts of Jean Gayon, a
major philosopher of science in France who is recognized across the
Atlantic, especially for his work in philosophy and the history of
life sciences. The book is structured around Gayon's personal
answers to questions put forward by Victor Petit. This approach
combines scientific rigor and risk-taking in answers that go back
to the fundamentals of the subject. As well as the relationship
between philosophy and the history of science, Gayon discusses the
main questions of the history and philosophy of biology that marked
his intellectual journey: Darwin, evolutionary biology, genetics
and molecular biology, human evolution, and various aspects of the
relationship between biology and society in contemporary times
(racism, eugenics, biotechnology, biomedicine, etc.).
