Editorial Reviews
Review
An important contribution to the burgeoning field of the philosophy of Darwinism.... Lloyd's discussion of species selection is the best available on this topic.

Book Description

Traditionally a scientific theory is viewed as based on universal laws of nature that serve as axioms for logical deduction. In analyzing the logical structure of evolutionary biology, Elisabeth Lloyd argues that the semantic account is more appropriate and powerful. This book will be of interest to biologists and philosophers alike.
