During the last twenty years Kant's theory of biology has increasingly attracted the attention
of scholars and developed into a field which is growing rapidly in importance within Kant
studies. The volume presents fifteen interpretative essays written by experts working in the
field covering topics from seventeenth- and eighteenth-century biological theories the
development of the philosophy of biology in Kant's writings the theory of organisms in Kant's
Critique of the Power of Judgment and current perspectives on the teleology of nature.
