Sobre IBD

This book argues for the explanatory autonomy of the biological sciences. It does so by showing that scientific explanations in the biological sciences cannot be reduced to explanations in the fundamental sciences, and by demonstrating that biological explanations are advanced by models rather than laws of nature.
