The Metaphysics of Evolution: Naqshbandis in the Ottoman World, 1450-1700SUNY Press, 1989 M01 1 - 331 páginas This critical collection of essays represents the best of the best when it comes to philosophy of biology. Many chapters treat evolution as a biological phenomenon, but the author is more generally concerned with science itself. Present-day science, particularly current views on systematics and biological evolution are investigated. The aspects of these sciences that are relevant to the general analysis of selection processes are presented, and they also serve to exemplify the general characteristics exhibited by science since its inception. |
