Biology and Cognitive Sciences in the Wake of the Practice Turn in Philosophy of Science: : Addressing Old Topics Through New Conceptual Tools

Abstract
In recent times, the philosophy of science has been reinvigorated by insights from different biological and cognitive sciences. These disciplines have provided not only new approaches to traditional philosophical problems but have also opened the door to new conceptual puzzles. The fundamental aim of this volume is to bring together some of the main debates that have structured the fields of philosophy of biology and cognitive sciences in the last few years from a practice-based approach.

In recent times, the philosophy of science has been reinvigorated by insights from different biological and cognitive sciences. These disciplines have provided not only new approaches to traditional philosophical problems but have also opened the door to new conceptual puzzles. The fundamental aim of this volume is to bring together some of the main debates that have structured the fields of philosophy of biology and cognitive sciences in the last few years from a practice-based approach. The present volume includes 12 manuscripts by leading young scholars that gathered at the 11th edition of the Philosophy of Biology and Cognitive Sciences Workshop held in November 2022 in Salamanca, Spain. Chapters two to six are dedicated to the philosophy of biology and include discussions on hot topics such as biological functions or the concept of pain. Chapters seven to twelve are devoted to the cognitive sciences and include essays on ecological psychology, meaning in life, or animal cognition. Irrespective of the specific topic covered, all chapters emphasize the practical aspects of science, drawing heavily on the daily activities of working scientists. (Less)
