John Dupre explores recent revolutionary developments in biology and considers their relevance for our understanding of human nature and human society. Epigenetics and related areas of molecular biology have eroded the exceptional status of the gene and presented the genome as fully interactive with the rest of the cell. Developmental systems theory provides a space for a vision of evolution that takes full account of the fundamental importance of developmental processes. Dupre shows the importance of microbiology for a proper understanding of the living world, and reveals how it subverts such basic biological assumptions as the organisation of biological kinds on a branching tree of life, and the simple traditional conception of the biological organism. These topics are considered in the context of a view of science as realistically grounded in the natural order, but at the same time as pluralistic and inextricably integrated within a social and normative context. The volume includes a section that recapitulates and expands some of the author's general views on science; a section addressing a range of topics in biology, including the significance of genomics, the nature of the organism and the current status of evolutionary theory; and a section exploring some implications of contemporary biology for humans, for example on the reality or unreality of human races, and the plasticity of human nature.

De ecologische crisis hangt met een bepaalde kijk op de natuur samen, te weten het zogeheten gemechaniseerde wereldbeeld. In deze optiek is de natuur een ensemble van dode, inerte dingen zonder binnenkant en eigen activiteit. Als gevolg daarvan degradeerde zij in de moderne tijd tot een inventaris van hulpbronnen en vervreemdden mens en natuur van elkaar. De ‘oplossing’ van deze crisis vereist daarom een ander natuurbeeld. Daaraan beantwoorden recente fascinerende ontwikkelingen in de natuur- en levenswetenschappen die contouren van een dynamische, creatieve, open en veelkleurige natuur doen oplichten. Zo’n natuuropvatting kan de basis vormen van de erkenning van een intrinsieke waarde van natuurlijke entiteiten – planten, dieren, ecosystemen. En dat kan weer motiveren tot een meer zorgzame en sparende omgang met de natuurlijke omgeving. Tegelijk krijgen met dat nieuwe natuurbeeld veel filosofische vragen een andere setting en ontstaan nieuwe openingen voor vastgelopen discussies zoals die van de verhouding van lichaam en geest of van de vrije wil. Alles bijeen voert dit boek een pleidooi voor een vergroening van de filosofie.

This book addresses themes in the newly emerging discipline of philosophy of chemistry, in particular issues in connection with discussions in general philosophy of science on natural kinds, reduction and ceteris paribus laws. The philosophical issue addressed in all chapters is the relation between, on the one hand, the manifest image (the daily practice or common-sense-life-form) and on the other the scientific image, both of which claim to be the final arbiter of "everything." With respect to chemistry, the question raised is this: Where does this branch of science fit in, with the manifest or scientific image? Most philosophers and chemists probably would reply unhesitatingly, the scientific image. The aim of this book is to raise doubts about that self-evidence. It is argued that chemistry is primarily the science of manifest substances, whereas “micro” or “submicro” scientific talk―though important, useful, and insightful―does not change what matters, namely the properties of manifest substances. These manifest substances, their properties and uses cannot be reduced to talk of molecules or solutions of the Schrödinger equation. If “submicroscopic” quantum mechanics were to be wrong, it would not affect all (or any) “microlevel” chemical knowledge of molecules. If molecular chemistry were to be wrong, it wouldn't disqualify knowledge of, say, water―not at the “macrolevel” (e.g. its viscosity at 50 °C), nor at the pre- or protoscientific manifest level (e.g. ice is frozen water).
