| Omschrijving |
The life sciences have shown a tremendous development during the last fifty years, and philosophical reflection on these sciences has grown with them. For a long time, philosophy of the life sciences was strongly oriented towards evolution by natural selection and the conceptual issues it generates. Nowadays, philosophy of the life sciences has become a more inclusive field where the organization of living systems plays a central role and which has come closer to philosophy of medicine. Topics dealt with in the course are gene-centrism and epigenetics, physiology and holism, individuals and symbiosis, functions and biological norms, health and wellbeing, and organism-environment interactions. |
