LINAJES ESAS COSAS QUE EVOLUCIONAN
CAPONI, Gustavo
Synopsis "LINAJES ESAS COSAS QUE EVOLUCIONAN"
En la biología contemporánea, las especies y los otros taxones biológicos son considerados linajes resultantes de procesos evolutivos concretos y contingentes, lo cual conduce a pensar que son entidades individuales y no clases. Entender cabalmente esta idea exige arduas reflexiones epistemológicas que incluyen la revisión de tesis y modos de pensar consagrados por la tradición filosófica o mantenidos a lo largo del tiempo. La idea de que las especies y los otros taxones son individuos es consecuencia de la perspectiva evolutiva de Darwin, que aún hoy orienta el desarrollo de las ciencias de la vida. Admitir esta visión implica complejas discusiones que tienen un lugar privilegiado en la agenda de la filosofía de la biología actual y son el tema de esta obra.
In contemporary biology, species and other biological taxa are considered lineages resulting from concrete and contingent evolutionary processes, which leads to thinking that they are individual entities and not classes. Fully understanding this idea requires arduous epistemological reflections that include the review of theses and ways of thinking consecrated by the philosophical tradition or maintained over time. The idea that species and other taxa are individuals is a consequence of Darwin's evolutionary perspective, which still guides the development of the life sciences today. Admitting this vision implies complex discussions that have a privileged place on the agenda of current philosophy of biology and are the subject of this work.
