Alan C Love

My research focuses on conceptual issues in biology. Much of my work has concentrated on the concepts of innovation and novelty in evolutionary developmental biology (Evo-devo). I also am interested in issues that arise in developmental biology and functional morphology. I use a combination of approaches to investigate a variety of philosophical questions: conceptual change, explanatory pluralism, the structure of evolutionary theory, reductionism, the nature of historical science, and interdisciplinary epistemology. Other areas of interest include the role of history in philosophical research and the nature of intuitions generated by thought experiments in philosophical inquiry.
