Genes and the Agents of Life

Meer over het boek

Exploring the agents of life, this book examines the roles of genes, organisms, and species within biological sciences and their connections to cognitive and social sciences. It challenges traditional views by discussing concepts like genetic encoding and pluralism in selection processes, making complex ideas accessible. The text draws from various biological disciplines, appealing to those in philosophy, biology, and the history of science. Authored by Robert A. Wilson, a philosophy professor, it serves as a companion to his previous work on cognitive sciences.
