John Dupré

John Dupré is a philosopher known for his work in the philosophy of science and biology. He challenges traditional views about the nature of scientific categories, suggesting that they are not fixed, but rather shaped by social and historical contexts. Dupré argues for a more pluralistic understanding of science, particularly in biology, where he emphasizes the complexity of life forms and the difficulties of classifying them neatly. His ideas encourage us to think critically about how scientific knowledge is constructed and to appreciate the diversity of life beyond rigid definitions.
