Description
Our understanding of ourselves is powerfully shaped by our conception of our biological nature. Central in this conception is the idea that we have evolved so the theory of evolution plays an important role in our understanding of ourselves. Aims at being an in-depth examination of some of the conceptual and philosophical issues which are raised by evolutionary theory. In particular, we will look at the explanatory structure of modern evolutionary theory and its relationship to the vexed issue of classification.
