El mosaico de Bernard: la explicación causal en biología funcional = The mosaic of Bernard: cause and effect in functional biology
In accordance with a widespread point of view, aligned with the nomological conception of causal explanation, functional biology is subjected to a regime of explanatory heteronomy under which organic phenomena should be explained by using laws of physics and chemistry. Against this perspective, the...

| description | In accordance with a widespread point of view, aligned with the nomological conception of causal explanation, functional biology is subjected to a regime of explanatory heteronomy under which organic phenomena should be explained by using laws of physics and chemistry. Against this perspective, the experimental conception of causation allows us to understand the nature of many biological explanations that, without make any reference to causal laws – physical, chemical or of other nature –, are legitimized because they permit the experimental control of phenomena that have to do with the functioning and development of organisms. These explanations involve local invariants that often, but not necessarily, may be characterized as instances of physical and chemical laws |
