This book is a collection of papers which reflect the recent trends
in the philosophy and history of molecular biology. It brings
together historians, philosophers, and molecular biologists who
reflect on the discipline's emergence in the 1950's, its explosive
growth, and the directions in which it is going. Questions
addressed include: (i) what are the limits of molecular biology?
(ii) What is the relation of molecular biology to older
subdisciplines of biology, especially biochemistry? (iii) Are there
theories in molecular biology? (iv) If so, how are these theories
structured? (v) What role did information theory play in the rise
of molecular biology? The book will open the way for many future
researchers.
