More about the book

Exploring the unification of scientific theories, the book delves into the historical quest for a comprehensive 'theory of everything,' particularly in contemporary physics. Margaret Morrison challenges common philosophical perspectives by asserting that unification and explanation are often unrelated. Through various case studies from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, she illustrates how pivotal theories, such as evolution and Mendelian genetics, were integrated into the field of evolutionary genetics, highlighting the complexities of scientific understanding.
