Explore a thought-provoking seminar where Dr. Anne Sophie Meincke presents a revolutionary perspective on understanding living beings through process philosophy of biology rather than traditional substance-based approaches. Delve into how process ontology can enhance biological concepts of development and evolution, particularly in support of the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis movement. Learn why the neo-Darwinian focus on genetic explanations, while overlooking development, stems from thing-based ontological assumptions, and discover how recognizing life's processual nature better explains developmental and organismal agency in evolution. Benefit from Dr. Meincke's extensive expertise in metaphysics, philosophy of mind, and biology, showcased through her award-winning research and publications, including works on dispositionalism and biological identity. Delivered at the CLEA, Free University of Brussels (VUB), this 2-hour seminar offers both in-person and online attendance options for those interested in exploring the intersection of philosophy and biological sciences.
