Agents and Goals in Evolution
Okasha, Samir (Professor of Philosophy of Science, Professor of Philosophy of Science, University of Bristol)
Samir Okasha offers a critical study of agential thinking in biology, where evolved organisms are seen as agents pursuing a goal. He examines the justification for transposing concepts from rational humans to the biological world, and considers whether agential thinking is mere anthropomorphism or plays a more intellectual role in the science.
