Biological Individuality: The Identity and Persistence of Living Entities - Cambridge Studies in Philosophy and Biology
Wilson, Jack (Washington and Lee University, Virginia)
What makes a biological entity an individual? Jack Wilson shows that past philosophers have failed to explicate the conditions an entity must satisfy to be a living individual. This book explores and resolves paradoxes that arise when one applies past notions of individuality to biological examples beyond the conventional range.
