In recent decades a number of physicists have produced ground-breaking new theories in fundamental physics influenced by his process philosophy. In contrast, few biologists are even aware that Whitehead's radical rethinking of the Cartesian assumptions implicit in 19th-century sciences might be relevant to their enterprise. This book seeks to fill this gap by exploring how Whitehead's process ontology might provide a new philosophical foundation for the biosciences of the 21st century. The central premise shared by all of the volume's authors is the idea that all living processes are irreducible processes. Each chapter focuses on assumptions implicit in some of the core concepts of biology - such as organism, evolution, information, and teleology - that play crucial explanatory roles in the biosciences, but as metaphysical concepts fall outside its purview. The authors each identify important shortcomings implicit in contemporary biological paradigms and show how an approach grounded in a process-oriented metaphysics can avoid them. 410 0$aProcess thought ;$vVolume 26. 606 $aBiology$xPhilosophy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBiology$xPhilosophy. 676 $a570.1 686 $aCC 3700$2rvk 702 $aKoutroufinis$b Spyridon A.$f1967- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458470903321 996 $aLife and process$92459878 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05212nam 2200649 a 450 001 9910778781403321 005 20230331004944.0 010 $a1-280-22156-9 010 $a9786610221561 010 $a0-309-58185-0 010 $a0-585-14243-2 035 $a(CKB)110986584750794 035 $a(EBL)3376248 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000256495 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11939430 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000256495 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10228418 035 $a(PQKB)10347630 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3376248 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3376248 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10055283 035 $a(OCoLC)923262264 035 $a(EXLCZ)99110986584750794 100 $a19870619d1987 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aTechnology and employment$b[electronic resource] $einnovation and growth in the U.S. economy /$fPanel on Technology and Employment, Committee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy [of the] National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering [and] Institute of Medicine ; Richard M.
