Philosophy of Biology Book by Elliott Sober (Farsi) – Pocket Edition

Description

"Philosophy of Biology" by Elliott Sober is a comprehensive exploration of the philosophical questions and issues that arise in the biological sciences. The book examines fundamental topics such as the nature of evolutionary theory, the concept of natural selection, the definition of fitness, and the role of genes and organisms in shaping evolutionary processes. Sober addresses key debates in biology, including reductionism versus holism, the units of selection controversy (gene, organism, or group), and the interplay between chance and necessity in evolution. He also delves into broader questions about the relationship between biology and other sciences, the explanatory power of evolutionary theory, and the philosophical implications of topics like adaptation, altruism, and the origin of life.
