CALL FOR PAPERS
_Studies in History and Philosophy of Biological and Biomedical
Sciences_
is a new journal whose first issue will be published at the beginning of
1998. The journal will be devoted to historical, sociological,
philosophical and ethical aspects of the life and environmental
sciences,
of the sciences of mind and behaviour, and of the medical and biomedical
sciences and technologies.
The editorial policy will be in line with the policy of the parent
journal, _Studies in History and Philosophy of Science_: contributions
will be drawn from a wide range of countries and cultural traditions; we
shall encourage both specialist articles, and articles combining
historical, philosophical, and sociological approaches; and we shall
favour works of interest to scientists and medics as well as to
specialists in the history, philosophy and sociology of the sciences.
The
