Under the banner of the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis, these changes have placed the organism and its agency back at the center of evolution, challenging long-held dogmas that seemed untouchable. By mapping these theoretical developments and examining their relationship with contemporary philosophical movements, this work builds toward a dialectical philosophy of nature, offering a systematic framework for how the humanities and philosophy can productively engage with natural science. It presents a new vision that places life at its center, seeking to unify different fields of knowledge while respecting their unique approaches and insights, rather than forcing them to conform to a single method.Library of Ethics and Applied Philosophy,2215-0323 ;44BiologyPhilosophyBioethicsPhilosophy of BiologyBioethicsBiologyPhilosophy.Bioethics.Philosophy of Biology.Bioethics.570.1Sandnes Haukedal Rasmus1861461MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911047703303321Agency and Organisation: The Dialectics of Nature and Life4467567UNINA
