  1. On the Vitality of Vitalism.Monica Greco - 2005 - Theory, Culture and Society 22 (1):15-27.
    The term ‘vitalism’ is most readily associated with a series of debates among 18th- and 19th-century biologists, and broadly with the claim that the explanation of living phenomena is not compatible with, or is not exhausted by, the principles of basic sciences like physics and chemistry. Scientists and philosophers have continued to address vitalism - mostly in order to reject it - well into the second half of the 20th century, in connection with classic concepts such as mechanism, reductionism, emergence, (...)

    Let me first state that I like Antti Revonsuo’s discussion of the various methodological and interpretational problems in neuroscience. It shows how careful and methodologically reflected scientists have to proceed in this fascinating field of research. I have nothing to add here. Furthermore, I am very sympathetic towards Revonsuo’s general proposal to call for a Philosophy of Neuroscience that stresses foundational issues, but also focuses on methodological and explanatory strategies.2 In a footnote of his paper, Revonsuo complains – as many (...)

  • L'enseignement expérimental de la biologie: quelques problèmes épistémologiques.Par Paul-Emile Pilet - 1975 - Dialectica 29 (4):249-257.
    RésuméC'est à un mode d'enseignement de la Biologie à l'Université… les travaux pratiques, qu'est consacré cet article. La forme, la nature et le contenu de ces « exercices » peuvent varier d'une Universitéà l'autre.Néanmoins, quelques règles générates essentiellement relatives aux méthodes pédagogiques pratiquées et à leurs limites, semblent pouvoir ětre dégagées. La justification d'un tel enseignement est tout d'abord l'objet de quelques remarques. Le choix des matières à enseigner expérimentalement — suivant les cycles d'études concernés — suscite un certain nombre (...)
