Death: Perspectives from the Philosophy of Biology
ISBN: 9783031144165 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 / 536 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book addresses several key issues in the biological study of death with the intent of capturing their genealogy, the assumptions and presuppositions they make, and the way that they open specific new research avenues. The book is divided into two sections: the first considers physiology and the second evolutionary biology. In the first part, Huneman reconstructs a conceptual genealogy of experimental physiology based on an in-depth analysis of Bichat's investigations of death processes. In the second part he explains that biologists in the late 1950s put forth a research framework...

Classification, Disease and Evidence: New Essays in the Philosophy of Medicine
ISBN: 9789402406627 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 211 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This anthology of essays presents a sample of studies from recent philosophy of medicine addressing issues which attempt to answer very general (interdependent) questions: (a) what is a disease and what is health? (b) How do we (causally) explain diseases? (c) And how do we distinguish diseases, i.e. define classes of diseases and recognize that an instance X of disease belongs to a given class B? (d) How do we assess and choose cure/ therapy? The book is divided into three sections: classification, disease and evidence. In general, attention is focused on statistics in medicine and...

Understanding Purpose: Kant and the Philosophy of Biology
ISBN: 9781580462655 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Understanding Purpose is an exploration of the central concept of natural purpose (Naturzweck) in Kant's philosophy of biology. Kant's work in this area is marked by a strong teleological concern: living organisms, in his view, are qualitatively different from mechanistic devices, and as a result they cannot be understood by means of the same principles. At the same time, Kant's own use of the concept of purpose does not presuppose any theological commitments, and is merely -regulative-; that is, it is employed as a heuristic device. The contributors to this volume also investigate the...

Functions: Selection and Mechanisms
ISBN: 9789400753037 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 243 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This volume handles in various perspectives the concept of function and the nature of functional explanations, topics much discussed since two major and conflicting accounts have been raised by Larry Wright and Robert Cummins' papers in the 1970s. Here, both Wright's 'etiological theory of functions' and Cummins' 'systemic' conception of functions are refined and elaborated in the light of current scientific practice, with papers showing how the 'etiological' theory faces several objections and may in reply be revisited, while its counterpart became ever more sophisticated, as researchers...

Why?: The Philosophy Behind the Question
ISBN: 9781503628908 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A philosopher explores the many dimensions of a beguilingly simple question. Why did triceratops have horns? Why did World War I occur? Why does Romeo love Juliet? And, most importantly, why ask why? Through an analysis of these questions and others, philosopher Philippe Huneman describes the different meanings of "why," and how those meanings can, and should (or should not), be conflated. As Huneman outlines, there are three basic meanings of why: the cause of an event, the reason of a belief, and the reason why I do what I do (the purpose). Each of these meanings, in turn, impacts how...
