商品描述

This book builds on recent scholarship highlighted in the edited collections, Philosophie, histoire, biologie: mélanges offerts à Jean Gayon (Merlin & Huneman, 2018) and Knowledge of Life Today (Gayon & Petit 2018/2019). While honoring the career and the thought of Jean Gayon (1949-2018), this book showcases the continued relevance of Gayon's interdisciplinary work and illustrates his central place in the community of historians and philosophers of the life sciences.

Chapters in this book address Jean Gayon's intellectual trajectory from historical epistemology to the philosophy of biology, the nature and scope of his philosophical approach to the history of science, and his unique contributions to the history and epistemology of biological concepts and theories. Drawing on published and unpublished sources, the book explores some of Gayon's most significant contributions to the philosophy, history, and social studies of biology.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書建立在最近的學術研究基礎上，這些研究在編輯的專著《Philosophie, histoire, biologie: mélanges offerts à Jean Gayon》（Merlin & Huneman, 2018）和《Knowledge of Life Today》（Gayon & Petit 2018/2019）中得到了突出展示。本書旨在紀念Jean Gayon（1949-2018）的職業生涯和思想，展示Gayon跨學科工作的持續重要性，並展示他在生命科學歷史學家和哲學家社群中的核心地位。

本書的章節探討了Jean Gayon從歷史認識論到生物哲學的思想軌跡，他對科學史的哲學方法的性質和範圍，以及他對生物概念和理論的歷史和認識論的獨特貢獻。本書利用已發表和未發表的資料來探索Gayon在生物哲學、歷史和社會研究中最重要的貢獻。
