This open access book assesses the prospects of (re)adopting
organization as a pivotal concept in biology. It shows how
organization can nourish biological thinking and practice, by
reconnecting with the idea of biology as the science of organized
systems. The book provides a comprehensive state-of-the-art picture
of the characterizations and uses of the concept of organization in
both biological science and philosophy of biology. It also
deals with a variety of themes – including evolution,
organogenesis, heredity, cognition and ecology – with
respect to which the concept of organization can guide the
elaboration of original models and new experimental protocols. It
will be of interest to biologists and scholars working in
philosophy of science alike. Â
