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 Drawing on published and unpublished sources, the book explores some of Gayon’s most significant contributions to the philosophy, history, and social studies of biology.History, Philosophy and Theory of the Life Sciences,2211-1956 ;30BiologyPhilosophyScienceHistorySciencePhilosophyPhilosophy of BiologyHistory of SciencePhilosophy of ScienceBiologyScienceBiologyPhilosophy.ScienceHistory.SciencePhilosophy.Philosophy of Biology.History of Science.Philosophy of Science.570.1Méthot Pierre-Olivier1362813Methot Pierre OlivieredtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910728385603321Philosophy, History and Biology3382345UNINA
