About Closer to Truth's Philosophy of Biology:

How can philosophy advance biology? How can biology influence philosophy? In this first series on Philosophy of Biology, Closer to Truth explores the challenges and implications of evolution.

We ask how life on earth came to be as it is, and how humans came to be as we are.

We address biologically based issues, such as sex/gender, race, cognition, culture, morality, healthcare, religion, alien life, and more.

When philosophy and biology meet, sparks fly as both are enriched.
