Explanation in Biology. Cambridge Elements in the Philosophy of Biology. By Lauren N. Ross
Lauren N. Ross’s Explanation in Biology offers a concise overview of contemporary philosophical work on scientific explanation in the life sciences. The book is organized around a central pluralist thesis: biological explanation is not exhausted by a single model, and in particular not by the mechanistic paradigm that has dominated much recent discussion.
