Filozofie biologie

(přesměrováno z Filosofie biologie)

Filozofie biologie je součást filozofie vědy, která se zabývá gnozeologickými, metafyzickými a etickými problémy v biologii a medicíně. Přestože filozofové vědy a filozofové obecně se často zabývali životem (včetně např. Aristotela, Descarta a Kanta), o filozofii biologie se mluví většinou až od 60. a 70. let 20. století. Filozofové vědy se tehdy začali biologií zabývat po moderní syntéze a vývoji moderní genetiky. Někteří filozofové se také domnívají, že klíčový zde byl vývoj neurologie a redukování vědomí na materiální termíny.

Přehled editovat

Filozofii biologie lze vidět jako pokračovatele empirické tradice a naturalismu. Mnoho současných filozofů biologie se vymezuje ústřední otázce rozdílu mezi živým a neživým. Mezi hlavní otázky, kterými se dnes filozofie biologie zabývá patří:

O filozofii biologie se také mluví jako o bioetice: Filozofické disciplíně, která by měla pomoci rozklíčovat základní lidské hodnoty a vyřešit etické otázky kolem nových technologií. Mezi takové otázky lze zařadit:

  • „Co je to život?“[1]
  • „Čím je člověk jedinečný?“;
  • „Jaké jsou evoluční základy morálního myšlení?“;
  • „Jaké biologické faktory ovlivňují naše estetické soudy?“;
  • „Jak je evoluce slučitelná s křesťanstvím a dalšími náboženskými systémy?“

Redukcionismus, holismus, a vitalismus editovat

Velkou část diskuze filozofie biologie tvoří analýza různých současných i historických pohledů, které biologové zastávají a jaké kulturní či sociální sounáležitosti tyto pohledy doprovázely. Mezi ně patří:

  • Vědecký redukcionismus je názor, že veškeré biologické procesy je možné zredukovat na mikroskopické chemické reakce a fyzické interakce
  • Holismus znamená v biologii pohled na makroskopická působení živých organismů. Například evoluce je dobrým příkladem pozorování děje s velkým měřítkem tím, že aplikujeme statistické výpočty na pravděpodobnosti přežití jednotlivce.[2]
  • Vitalismus je pohled biology od 19. století povětšinou odmítaný, že existuje jakási životní energie (nazývaná vis-viva)
