Title: | Again, what the philosophy of biology is not | Authors: | CALLEBAUT, Werner | Issue Date: | 2005 | Publisher: | SPRINGER | Source: | ACTA BIOTHEORETICA, 53(2). p. 93-122 | Abstract: | There are many things that philosophy of biology might be. But, given the existence of a professional philosophy of biology that is arguably a progressive research program and, as such, unrivaled, it makes sense to define philosophy of biology more narrowly than the totality of intersecting concerns biologists and philosophers (let alone other scholars) might have. The reasons for the success of the "new" philosophy of biology remain poorly understood. I reflect on what Dutch and Flemish, and, more generally, European philosophers of biology could do to improve the situation of their discipline locally, regionally, and internationally, paying particular attention to the lessons to be learned from the "Science Wars." | Notes: | Limburgs Univ Ctr, Fac Sci, Diepenbeek, Belgium.
