How Can We Teach Philosophy of Science to Biologists?
(2020) p.299-312- Abstract
So, we now have a book on philosophy of science written for biologists, which contains topics that its editors (both of them biologists) thought would be useful. Whereas we hope that many biologists will read it and reflect on philosophy of science, this is not the only role we envisaged for this book. We also believe that the book could be used in courses for biology undergraduates and graduates. It could be used in a course on philosophy of science, or as a supplement to a biology-focused course that would at the same time aim to promote philosophical reflection among participants. In either case, what is important for anyone who would use this book for teaching purposes is that the contributors to the present book have highlighted... (More)
