In this volume, Andrea Borghini and Elena Casetta introduce a wide spectrum of key philosophical problems related to life sciences in a neat framework and an accessible style, with a special emphasis on metaphysical issues.
Philosophy and law are separate disciplines, but they deal with many of the same issues-from the meaning of equality and liberty, the nature of knowledge, reasoning, and mental states, to the indeterminacy of language, causation, free will, luck, and personal identity.
