""How Kant Matters for Biology offers a decisive contribution to both Kant scholarship and philosophy of biology. The author challenges us to rethink Kant's influence on British bioscience from Whewell to Darwin, and thereby to reimagine the theoretical implications of Kant's account of teleological judgement for contemporary work on biological autonomy (or for several of the most pressing questions in philosophy of science, including the unity of science, the epistemic status of natural laws, and biological individuality). It is ambitious in scope without giving up on technical clarity - a landmark in the contemporary literature on Kant and biology.""-- ""Andrew Cooper, Assistant Professor of Philosophy, University of Warwick""
