Summary:"In this book, Jack Wilson brings together two lines of research, theoretical biology and analytic metaphysics, that have dealt with the individuation of living entities in virtual isolation from one another.
Wilson presents a new theory of biological individuality that addresses problems that cannot be solved by either field alone."--Jacket.
"This is a book of interest to philosophers of biology, metaphysicians, and biologists."--Jacket.
