Death Perspectives from the Philosophy of Biology

“Philippe Huneman’s
Death: Perspectives from the Philosophy of Biology
presents itself as a major volume situated at the intersection of three main fields: philosophy, philosophy of biology … and biology itself ... . The volume is organized into two main parts, comprising respectively six and eight chapters, in addition to an introduction and a conclusion. … the volume constitutes an important milestone for interdisciplinary research, whose clarity of exposition and accessibility in English also deserve to be emphasized.” (Jessica Lombard, The Quarterly Review of Biology, Vol. 101 (2), June, 2026) 

“Death: Perspectives from the Philosophy of Biology is enormous in its scope and will stand as a major contribution to this exciting new field.” (Pierre M. Durand, Journal for General Philosophy of Science, Vol. 56 (4), 2025)

“Those interested in the what, why, and the how of death will want to read Huneman’s excellent book. The critical discussions of the development of key historical theories, and the overviews of current work, make it especially valuable.” (Steven Luper, Metascience, Vol. 32 (3), 2023)
