Philosophy, Theory, and Practice in Biology

Aims & Scope

Philosophy, Theory, and Practice in Biology (PTPBio) is a peer-reviewed, open-access, academic journal that aims to publish work from philosophers of science and theoretically-inclined biologists, and to encourage interactions across disciplinary boundaries.

The journal's scope encompasses theoretical biology, philosophy of biology, and the practice of biology, with a focus on conceptual issues, empirical data, mathematical treatments, and conceptual discussions. It welcomes papers that are methodologically diverse, including standard philosophy of biology analyses, theoretical papers by biologists, and overviews of trends in biological research or philosophy of biology.

PTPBio aims to foster a broader conception of what it means to reflect on and analyze biological theory and method, both scientifically and philosophically, and to provide a platform for increased scholarly interchange and intellectual cross-pollination between philosophers of science, biologists, and other researchers with aligned interests.
