Essence in the Age of Evolution

By Austin, Christopher J.

0 - Default Title
Description
This book offers a defence of a highly contested philosophical position: biological natural kind essentialism. Austin challenges common objections to this theory, and in conjunction with contemporary scientific advancements within the field of evolutionary-developmental biology, he utilises a contemporary neo-Aristotelian metaphysics of dispositional properties, or causal powers, to provide a theory of essentialism centred on the developmental architecture of organisms and its role in the evolutionary process. By defending a novel theory of Aristotelian biological natural kind essentialism, this book represents an exciting union of cutting-edge philosophical insight and scientific knowledge.
