Description
From Cells to Organisms: Re-envisioning Cell Theory
This book delves into the nature of scientific practice, exploring how cell theory shaped investigations of development and evolution. It examines the role of prestige, the dynamics of theory change, and the ongoing debates around cell theory.
The author draws on case studies to examine the relationship between ideas, prior philosophical convictions, and scientific inquiry, shedding new light on the fundamental problem of generation and its subsequent disciplines.
