"Microbes and microbiology are seldom encountered in philosophical accounts of the
life sciences. Although microbiology is a well-established science and microbes the
basis of life on this planet, neither the organisms nor the science have been seen
as philosophically significant. This book will change that. It fills a major gap in
the philosophy of biology by examining central philosophical issues in microbiology.
Topics are drawn from evolutionary microbiology, microbial ecology, and microbial
classification. These discussions are aimed at philosophers and scientists who wish
to gain insight into the basic philosophical issues of microbiology"
