In this rich and accessible book, Paul Griffiths and Karola Stotz show how the concept of the gene has evolved and diversified across the many fields that make up modern biology. By examining the molecular biology of the 'environment', they situate genetics in the developmental biology of whole organisms, and reveal how the molecular biosciences have undermined the nature/nurture distinction. Their discussion gives full weight to the revolutionary impacts of molecular biology, while rejecting 'genocentrism' and 'reductionism', and brings the topic right up to date with the philosophical implications of the most recent developments in genetics. Their book will be invaluable for those studying the philosophy of biology, genetics and other life sciences"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (p. 229-257) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction -- Mendel's gene -- The material gene -- The reactive genome -- Outside the genome -- The gene as information -- The behavioural gene -- The evolving gene -- Four conclusons 650 0 $a Genes. 650 0 $a Genomics. 650 0 $a Genetics $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Developmental genetics. 650 7 $a SCIENCE / Philosophy & Social Aspects $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Genetik. $2 gnd 650 7 $a Entwicklungsbiologie. $2 gnd 650 7 $a Philosophie. $2 gnd 650 7 $a Developmental genetics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00891808 650 7 $a Genes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00939991 650 7 $a Genetics $x Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00940132 650 7 $a Genomics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00940228 650 12 $a Genetics. 650 22 $a Molecular Biology. 650 22 $a Philosophy. 650 17 $a Genetica. $2 gtt 650 17 $a Filosofie. $2 gtt 700 1 $a Stotz, Karola. 830 0 $a Cambridge introductions to philosophy and biology. 856 42 $3 Cover image $u http://assets.cambridge.org/97811070/02128/cover/9781107002128.jpg 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826074417.0 952 $l PRAX771 $d 20140513160442.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CFBF5336DAE011E39FFAC3B9DAD10320 994 $a Z0 $b IODInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
