Modern biological classification is based on the system developed
by Linnaeus, and interpreted by Darwin as representing the tree of
life. But despite its widespread acceptance, the evolutionary
interpretation has some problems and limitations. This
comprehensive book provides a single resource for understanding all
the main philosophical issues and controversies about biological
classification. It surveys the history of biological classification
from Aristotle to contemporary phylogenetics and shows how modern
biological classification has developed and changed over time.
Readers will also be able to see how biological classification is
in part a consequence of human psychology, language development and
culture. The book will be valuable for student readers and others
interested in a range of topics in philosophy and biology.
