This book offers to the international reader a collection of
original articles of some of the most skillful historians and
philosophers of biology currently working in Latin American
universities. During the last decades, increasing attention has
been paid in Latin America to the history and philosophy of
biology, but since many local authors prefer to write in Spanish or
in Portuguese, their ideas have barely crossed the boundaries of
the continent. This volume aims to remedy this state of things,
providing a good sample of this production to the English speaking
readers, bringing together contributions from researchers working
in Brazilian, Argentinean, Chilean, Colombian and Mexican
universities. The stress on the regional provenance of the authors
is not intended to suggest the existence of something like a Latin
American history and philosophy of biology, supposedly endowed with
distinctive features. On the contrary, the editors firmly believe
that advances in this field can be achieved only by stimulating the
integration in the international debate. Based on this assumption,
the book focuses on two topics, life and evolution, and presents a
selection of contributions addressing issues such as the history of
the concept of life, the philosophical reflection on life
manipulation and life extension, the structure and development of
evolutionary theory as well as human evolution. Life and Evolution
- Latin American Essays on the History and Philosophy of Biology
will provide the international reader with a rather complete
picture of the ongoing research in the history and philosophy of
biology in Latin America, offering a snapshot of this dynamic
community. It will also contribute to contextualize and develop the
debate concerning life and evolution, and the relation between the
two phenomena.
