Publisher's Note
Traditionally a scientific theory is viewed as based on universal laws of nature that serve as axioms for logical deduction. In analyzing the logical structure of evolutionary biology, Elisabeth Lloyd argues that the semantic account is more appropriate and powerful. This book will be of interest to biologists and philosophers alike. Traditionally a scientific theory is viewed as based on universal laws of nature that serve as axioms for logical deduction.

Industry Reviews
Reviews recent debates concerning the existence or non-existence of evolutionary "laws" and the possibility of axiomizing evolutionary theory. Describes a wide variety of evolutionary subtheories and presents a view of confirmation appropriate to a model-oriented conception of theories. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
