First published in 2000, this set of essays by some of the best names in philosophy of science explores a range of diverse issues in the intersection of biology and epistemology. It asks whether the study of life requires a special biological approach to knowledge and concludes that it does not. The studies, taken together, help to develop and deepen our understanding of how biology works and what counts as warranted knowledge and as legitimate approaches to the study of life. The first section deals with the nature of evidence and evolutionary theory as it came to dominate nineteenth-century philosophy of science; the second and third parts deal with the impact of laboratory and experimental research. This is an impressive team of authors, bringing together some of the most distinguished philosophers of science. The volume will interest professionals and graduate students in biology and the history and philosophy of science.
Rudolf Carnap (1891-1970) is increasingly regarded as one of the most important philosophers of the twentieth century. He was one of the leading figures of the logical empiricist movement associated with the Vienna Circle and a central figure in the analytic tradition more generally. He made major contributions to philosophy of science and philosophy of logic, and, perhaps most importantly, to our understanding of the nature of philosophy as a discipline. In this volume a team of contributors explores the major themes of his philosophy and discusses his relationship with the Vienna Circle and with philosophers such as Frege, Husserl, Russell, and Quine. New readers will find this the most convenient and accessible guide to Carnap currently available. Advanced students and specialists will find a conspectus of recent developments in the interpretation of Carnap.

Rudolf Carnap and W. V. Quine, two of the twentieth century's most
important philosophers, corresponded at length--and over a long
period of time--on matters personal, professional, and
philosophical. Their friendship encompassed issues and
disagreements that go to the heart of contemporary philosophic
discussions. Carnap (1891-1970) was a founder and leader of the
logical positivist school. The younger Quine (1908-) began as his
staunch admirer but diverged from him increasingly over questions
in the analysis of meaning and the justification of belief. That
they remained close, relishing their differences through years of
correspondence, shows their stature both as thinkers and as
friends. The letters are presented here, in full, for the first
time.
