Book description

In the past century, nearly all of the biological sciences have been directly affected by discoveries and developments in genetics, a fast-evolving subject with important theoretical dimensions. In this rich and accessible book, Paul Griffiths and Karola Stotz show how the concept of the gene has evolved and diversified across the many fields that make up modern biology. By examining the molecular biology of the 'environment', they situate genetics in the developmental biology of whole organisms, and reveal how the molecular biosciences have undermined the nature/nurture distinction. Their discussion gives full weight to the revolutionary impacts of molecular biology, while rejecting 'genocentrism' and 'reductionism', and brings the topic right up to date with the philosophical implications of the most recent developments in genetics. Their book will be invaluable for those studying the philosophy of biology, genetics and other life sciences.

Reviews

'A valuable resource for students and other readers interested in science and philosophy and the history of these fields, along with modern applications of genetic information, including the bioethics of genomic analysis … Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through professionals; informed general audiences.'

D. L. Beach Source: Choice

'Griffiths and Stotz have written an important book. It is a bridge between the way scientists traditionally approach their work and the way philosophers do theirs.'

Elof Axel Carlson Source: The Quarterly Review of Biology

'… offers an in depth study of the current lines of thought in the field of philosophy of science and a thorough and thoughtful critical reflection … a relevant book for a diverse audience, including molecular biologists who want to read an in depth philosophical discussion of their field, as well as philosophers of science and philosophers in general.'

Kristien Hens Source: Ethical Perspectives

'This book is intended as an introduction to philosophical issues raised by genetics. One of its many strengths is that it construes genetics very broadly to include all of heredity, including genomics. The range of topics covered is admirable; all standard themes in the philosophy of genetics are treated at an introductory level - reductionism, genetic information, heritability, adaptationism, and so forth.'
