Description: Meta-reflections on ‘The Philosophy of Biology,’ New
Challenges from Biology and a Theory of ‘Natural Detachment’.
As a sub-discipline within philosophy ‘The Philosophy of Biology’ is a very
young field which is still highly influenced by the proclivities of its
founding members. It is no secret that practicing philosophers of biology
have taken a particular interest in matters relating to the ‘principle’ of
natural selection. There are various reasons, or explanations, why this has
been the case, but these would not include the fact it reflects the
interests of most working biologist (which it doesn’t). A positive
explanation might be the belief that there are no properties of the living
state as such that can’t ultimately be understood in terms of natural
selection. This question will be further explored by considering possible
challenges from new developments within biology such as theories of
facilitated variation, adaptive developmental recombination, comparative
genomics, and my proposal for a theory of ‘natural detachment.’
