Table of ContentsReviewsThe time is ripe for careful reflection on the conceptual foundations of epigenetics and how these can illuminate ongoing discussions in the philosophy of science. This book provides one of the first systematic examinations of philosophical issues arising in epigenetics. Perhaps its greatest strength is its careful analysis of the kind of explanations found in this burgeoning biological discipline. --Daniel J. Nicholson, University of Exeter Jan Baedke argues convincingly that epigenetics must be part of any explanatory or descriptive account pertaining to issues in biology and philosophy of science. This book is original--it is the first to focus exclusively on the philosophy of epigenetics by addressing classical concerns of philosophers of science, especially the notion and nature of scientific explanation. --Eva Jablonka, Tel Aviv University Author InformationJan Baedke is assistant professor in the Department of Philosophy I, Ruhr University Bochum, Germany.
