Description

The Philosophy of Biology is a book written by James Johnstone and first published in 1914. This book explores the philosophical implications of the study of biology, including the nature of life, evolution, and the relationship between biology and other branches of science. Johnstone argues that biology is a distinct field of study with its own unique methods and concepts, and that it is not reducible to physics or chemistry. He also examines the role of teleology in biology, and the implications of Darwinian evolution for our understanding of the natural world. This book remains an important contribution to the philosophy of science and the study of biology, and is still widely read and discussed today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
