Perspectives on Classification in Synthetic Sciences

Unnatural Kinds
Herausgeber: Bursten, Julia R. S.

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This volume refocuses conversations about classification on un-natural, or synthetic, kinds via extensive study of two paradigm cases of unnatural kinds: in the first place, nanomaterials, and in the second, stem cells and synthetic biology.
