| Synopsis: |
This text is a collection of papers which reflect the recent trends in the philosophy and history of molecular biology. It brings together historians, philosophers, and molecular biologists who reflect on the discipline's emergence in the 1950's, its explosive growth, and the directions in which it is going. Questions addressed include: what are the limits of molecular biology?; what is the relation of molecular biology to older subdisciplines of biology, especially biochemistry?; are there theories in molecular biology? If so, how are these theories structured?; what role did information theory play in the rise of molecular biology? |
