Everything flows : towards a processual philosophy of biology / edited by Daniel J. NIcholson and John Dupré.

Against the traditional view of the living world as fundamentally composed of enduring things, this work argues for the radical alternative that it essentially consists of processes. Biology is the study of the processes that constitute living beings, and the things biologists study ultimately deriv...
