Departament of Theoretical Biology

 

 

 

The studies are carried out in two areas:
  1. the results of study in bioelectronics and bioelectromagnetics as relating to the philosophy of living beings;
  2. relationships between evolutionism, natural sciences and philosophy.
  • In the first one, empirical and theoretical studies in bioelectronics and bioelectromagnetics are taken advantage of to study the role of some physical factors and processes in biosystems to find their relation to the nature of life. Especial attention is paid to the knowledge gained on the electronic properties of/and processes in biosystems, as well as on the electromagnetic fields and their role in/effects on them. The first one constitutes the field of the electronics of life (for short - bioelectronics), the latter - of bioelectromagnetics. In both of these areas of study the results (and their interpretations) are present that demand a philosophical and methodological reflection.
  • In the second one, the whole area of the applications of the idea(s) of evolution to various types of beings and human creations is considered as constituting the field of evolutionism. Assuming that evolutionary perspective plays an undeniable role in biology, the extensions of it to beings studied in other areas of knowledge are in the focus. In this respect, consideration is given mainly to evolutionism in philosophy and in the areas (more or less) connected to it, as individual human beings - on one hand - and human societies - on the other. These attempts, justification, and their consequences are considered at the angles characteristic of philosophy.
