The Biology of Ultimate Concern
#2407 of 3,809 books · #244 in Science & Technology
Shortlisted for the National Book Award for Nonfiction (1968).
I wish to examine some philosophical implications of certain biological and anthropological findings and theories. This book lays no claim to being a treatise either on philosophical biology or on biological philosophy. It consists of essays on those particular aspects of science which have been particularly influential in the formation of my personal credo.
