The Philosophy of Biology: An Episodic HistoryCambridge University Press, 2 авг. 2004 г. - Всего страниц: 416 Does life (for the living) differ from that of the non-living? If so, how? And how, in that case, does biology as the study of living things differ from other sciences? These questions are examined through an exploration of episodes in the history of biology and philosophy. |
