This book explores Kant’s influence on the development of biology and his importance for contemporary issues in philosophy of biology. Establishing Kant-inspired approaches toward these issues helps to develop new perspectives that critically examine underlying assumptions in biology.
A re-evaluation of Kants influence on science in light of Kants own views on biology.
Kant denied biology the status of a proper science, yet his account of the organism profoundly influenced a range of intellectual disciplines. This book examines Kants influence on biology in the British Isles by proposing that his influence owes to misunderstandings of his philosophy. Andrew Jones exposes the incompatibility between transcendental realism and scientific naturalism and charts how Kant, nevertheless, influenced various aspects of the scientific method. With this context in mind, Jones examines the extent to which core concepts in contemporary philosophynatural law, the unity of science, and our understanding of organisms are compatible with scientific naturalism and proposes new avenues for developing Kant-inspired approaches within contemporary philosophy of science.
