Abstract

The organism-environment pairing plays a prominent role in the way different biological theories and models are structured, and scientific practices are carried out. However, understanding how this relationship has been construed and on which epistemic and ontological pillars it stands on remains an open problem that has not been sufficiently investigated by historians and philosophers of science. Against this background, this monograph offers a systematic, comprehensive reappraisal of the organism-environment pairing in biology from the standpoint of integrated history and philosophy of science (&HPS).
