- Summary:
-
"Reasoning in Biological Discoveries brings together a series of essays written and cowritten by Lindley Darden that focus on one of the most heavily debated topics of scientific discovery today. Collected, and illustrated for the first time in this edition, Darden's essays represent a ground-breaking foray into one of the major problems - biological mechanisms - facing scientists and philosophers of science alike."--BOOK JACKET.
