Defining species

More about the book

This volume provides excerpts and commentary on source material ranging from the Greeks, through the middle ages, to the modern era, on the definition of ""species"". It demonstrates that the logical meaning of species is in direct contrast to the use of kind terms and concepts in natural history and biology, and that the myth that biologists or natural historians were ever essentialists about kinds is mistaken.
