The Riddle of Organismal Agency: New Historical and
Philosophical Reflections, 24th – 25th
March 2022
The overall goal of this workshop is to address the riddle of organismal agency through the lenses of philosophy, history, and the biological sciences. By bringing together scholars from different disciplines, we aim to (i) clarify the epistemological and ontological underpinnings of organismal agency; (ii) contextualize this problem in the history of philosophy and biology in fruitful new directions; and (iii) delve into the consequences of embracing organismal agency for the study of development and evolution, its formal integration into biological theories, and translatability into scientific practice.
