Much effort has been devoted to explaining in what sense models represent their corresponding target systems. This has been considered a pivotal philosophical problem since representational models have been widely assumed to canalize our knowledge and understanding of reality. The aim of the paper is to analytically structure the framework commonly...
This book brings together some of the main debates that have structured in the last years the fields of philosophy of biology and cognitive sciences. It is organized around 11 chapters distributed in two parts: one devoted to the philosophy of biology, and the other to the cognitive sciences. These ideas were originally presented at the 11th editio...
In recent times, the philosophy of science has been reinvigorated by insights from different biological and cognitive sciences. These disciplines have provided not only new approaches to traditional philosophical problems but have also opened the door to new conceptual puzzles. The fundamental aim of this volume is to bring together some of the mai...
In recent years, both biologists and philosophers have proposed reexamining the idea of inheritance. In the paper, I discuss the main challenges posed by epigenetics and the arguments adduced against considering it as a full-fledged mechanism of inheritance. I argue that such reluctance derives from the narrow conceptualization underlying the stand...
Múltiples estudios experimentales han iluminado el potencial papel que las alteraciones epigenéticas podrían jugar en el inicio y estabilización de las enfermedades. Estas investigaciones han motivado el surgimiento de una nueva disciplina conocida como epidemiología epigenética. Este artículo tiene dos objetivos fundamentales. Primero, analizar y...
La noción de comprensión ha sido objeto de un renovado interés dentro de los estudios dedicados a la filosofía de la ciencia. Si bien la mayor parte de las caracterizaciones se han valido de los conceptos epistemológicos tradicionales de verdad y conocimiento, la reciente literatura concerniente a la modelización científica ha puesto en cuestión la...

En los últimos años, han surgido dos posturas claramente diferenciadas. Una primera postura, denominada veri-tismo, ha empleado los conceptos tradicionales de verdad y conocimiento para analizar las características...
A raíz de los recientes descubrimientos en disciplinas emergentes como la epigenética o la eco-devo, el concepto genocentrista de herencia propio de la Síntesis Moderna ha sido sometido a un intenso análisis y revisión. El presente trabajo tiene por objetivo analizar las inconsistencias conceptuales y prácticas derivadas del concepto clásico de her...
El concepto molecular de gen ha sido objeto, en las últimas décadas, de un constante proceso de deconstrucción teórica. Empero, a pesar de las múltiples críticas recibidas, este concepto pervive en la actualidad como el principal estereotipo de trabajo. El objetivo del presente artículo consistirá en tratar de evaluar la validez y el alcance del co...
The conceptual dilemma that species entail has divided, since its formulation, biologists and philosophers in two spheres: those who believe in the existence of a unified category of species and those who defend the unyielding plurality of equally legitimate concepts. The aim of this paper is to comprise the analysis of the problems that revolve ar...
