Reviews
"This book contains detailed observations and critical reflections that help to clarify the philosophical problems associated with experimental biology. Staying true to his subject matter, the author does not present a 'one size fits all' solution to the philosophy of experimental biology. Similar to experiments, these questions are very much a work in progress. And by showing what we miss if we do not pay attention to these issues, Weber has done us all an enormous service." The Quarterly Review of Biology, Manfred D. Laubichler, '… this is a book we all need and for which we should all be grateful … this is an important book and, even if you only dip into it here and there, it is a work that should be on the shelf of every philosopher of biology … Marjorie Grene and David Depew have written a really good book - too good just to praise. Let the arguments begin!'Biology and Philosophy, 'â€¦ this is a book we all need and for which we should all be grateful â€¦ this is an important book and, even if you only dip into it here and there, it is a work that should be on the shelf of every philosopher of biology â€¦ Marjorie Grene and David Depew have written a really good book - too good just to praise.
