Summer School - Epistemology and methodology

New perspectives in the philosophy of biology

BioPerspectives CNRS theme school

The scientific domain of the summer school is philosophy of biology. After having mostly focused for several decades on evolutionary biology, philosophy of biology has recently shown an increasing interest for issues coming from other biological disciplines, in particular molecular biology. Today, philosophy of biology must widen its scope, and include the new research domains that are emerging in the Life Sciences: it must deal with the philosophical and epistemological challenges and problems originated by those domains, and thereby profoundly renew the object of its reflection. As a matter of fact, we witness today the emergence of a number of new research domains as, in particular, molecular epigenetics, metagenomics, systems biology and synthetic biology.
