When I was doing my undergrad in biology the amount of my classmates dismiss philosophy as “soft humanities” or just “word play” is disheartening. For my humanities component of my grades I took all philosophy classes and I had a great time. It’s a great crossover when Philosophy of Biology was offered.
It’s not just the undergrads.
I’m a theoretical biologist.
The best book I read on multilevel selection theory was actually written by a professor of philosophy. The author broke down the individual concepts, as they do, so that anyone reading it knew exactly what each technical term referred to. Biology is my favorite subject because there’s so much that we’re still figuring out and it’s just ridiculously complex.
I might have had a similar hot take as an undergrad when everyone has an ego based on their major - and I was even a computer engineering student for awhile, and engineers tend to be even worse at that sort of thing.
I am not a biologist but could you please share the name and author of the book? Sounds liek something I’d enjoy TIA

I kinda love that this is a thing. All things lead to philosophy.

Epistemology asks what do we know and how do we know it. In other words, it’s the theory of knowledge.
