Genes and the Agents of Life

Meer over het boek

Exploring the concept of biological agents, this book delves into how genes, organisms, and species are understood within various scientific fields, including genetics and evolutionary biology. It challenges traditional views by examining the relationship between life and mind and the implications of hierarchical thinking. Accessible discussions cover topics like genetic encoding and pluralism in biological selection. Aimed at professionals and students in philosophy and biology, it serves as a companion to previous works on cognitive sciences by the author, Robert A. Wilson.
