The exploration of biological individuality reveals the inadequacies of past philosophical definitions. Jack Wilson argues for a focus on real organisms rather than abstract thought experiments, addressing paradoxes that arise from traditional notions of individuality. By integrating theoretical biology and metaphysics, he presents a novel theory that clarifies issues of identity and persistence. His refined vocabulary of individuation enhances understanding of various living entities, providing solutions to longstanding debates within the fields of biology and philosophy.
