From Biological Determination to Entangled Causation.

Acta biotheoretica - 1 Mar 2019

Vecchi Davide, Miquel Paul-Antoine, Hernández Isaac

Abstract excerpt

Biologists and philosophers often use the language of determination in order to describe the nature of developmental phenomena. Accounts in terms of determination have often been reductionist. One common idea is that DNA is supposed to play a special explanatory role in developmental explanations, namely, that DNA is a developmental determinant. In this article we try to make sense of determination claims in...
