This book brings together for the first time philosophers of biology
to write about some of the most central concepts and issues in their
field from the perspective of biology education. The chapters of the
book cover a variety of topics ranging from traditional ones, such as
biological explanation, biology and religion or biology and ethics, to
contemporary ones, such as genomics, systems biology or evolutionary
developmental biology. Each of the 30 chapters covers the respective
philosophical literature in detail and makes specific suggestions for
biology education. The aim of this book is to inform biology
educators, undergraduate and graduate students in biology and related
fields, students in teacher training programs, and curriculum
developers about the current state of discussion on the major topics
in the philosophy of biology and its implications for teaching
biology. In addition, the book can be valuable to philosophers of
biology as an introductory text in undergraduate and graduate courses.
