In this historical and epistemological study, philosopher Antonine Nicoglou shows how the recurrence of the general idea of plasticity—throughout the history of the life sciences—indicates its essential role in the way we think about life processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough plasticity has become a key element in new evolutionary thinking, Nicoglou argues, its role in contemporary biology is also not insignificant. Rather, as mobilised in contemporary biology, plasticity most often seeks to account for the specific nature of living systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is divided into two parts. The first part takes up the history of plasticity from Aristotle to contemporary biology; the second part offers an original way of distinguishing between different phenomena described by \"plasticity.\" In the process, the author explores what has led some biologists to speak of plasticity as a way of overcoming genetic determinism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854762725612,"sku":"9780226837161","price":71.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/781bd20fe67ddd21a21ef8370e1f8cf0.jpg?v=1759265356"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/antonine-nicoglou.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
