What Functions Explain: Functional Explanation and Self-Reproducing Systems - Cambridge Studies in Philosophy and Biology
McLaughlin, Peter (Universitat Konstanz, Germany)
This 2001 book offers an examination of functional explanation as it is used in biology and the social sciences, and focuses on the kinds of philosophical presuppositions that such explanations carry with them. It provides a sophisticated and detailed Aristotelian analysis of our concept of natural functions.
