This ebook brings jointly for the 1st time philosophers of biology to put in writing approximately probably the most crucial ideas and matters of their box from the viewpoint of biology schooling. The chapters of the booklet hide quite a few themes starting from conventional ones, corresponding to organic clarification, biology and faith or biology and ethics, to modern ones, akin to genomics, platforms biology or evolutionary developmental biology. all of the 30 chapters covers the respective philosophical literature intimately and makes particular feedback for biology education.
The goal of this publication is to notify biology educators, undergraduate and graduate scholars in biology and comparable fields, scholars in instructor education courses, and curriculum builders concerning the present nation of debate at the significant subject matters within the philosophy of biology and its implications for instructing biology. moreover, the e-book will be useful to philosophers of biology as an introductory textual content in undergraduate and graduate classes.
