Everything Flows : Towards a Processual Philosophy of Biology (2018, background): “In his chapter, James DiFrisco considers the extent to which the cohesion criterion, first proposed by John Collier (1988, 2004), can provide an effective means of individuating biological processes.”
Neoliberalism on the molecular scale. Economic and genetic reductionism in biotechnology battles (2003, background): “While the ‘‘gene’’ remains convenient as a heuristic device, still indispensable in some forms of scientific reasoning and experimentation, its ontological status as a discrete, causal unit of heredity is increasingly in doubt (Beurton et al., 2000; Fox Keller, 2000).”
Epigenetics: Embedded bodies and the molecularisation of biography and milieu (2011, background): “Historians of science have pointed out repeatedly that the concept of the gene has always been tied to particular experimental systems (for example, Rheinberger, 2000).”
A Manifesto for a Processual Philosophy of Biology (2018, background): “In his chapter, James DiFrisco considers the extent to which the cohesion criterion, first proposed by John Collier (1988, 2004), can provide an effective means of individuating biological processes.”
