Oderberg\, Department of Philosophy\, sponsored by the Royal Institute of Philosophy and the John Templeton Foundation</p>\n<p>Prof. Oderberg and a team of scientists and philosophers (Jonathan Hill\, Ingo Bojak\, Jon Gibbins\, Christopher Austin\, Fran&ccedil\;ois Cinotti) are investigating the phenomenon of biological mistakes\, under a three-year grant generously awarded by the John Templeton Foundation. The project ties into a broader\, global research program involving many research teams working on agency\, purpose\, and function in biology.</p>\n<p>It is not only humans who make mistakes. So do other living things\, and even their parts. This one area where biology and physics are distinct: electrons do not make mistakes\; organisms do. But what\, exactly\, is a biological mistake? Can it be defined? Are mistakes found across biology? Prof. Oderberg answers these questions\, showing how mistake-making in living systems can provide a framework for generating new empirical hypotheses and tests of interest to the working biologist.</p>\n<p>Registration free. All welcome. No prior knowledge of philosophy or biology is presupposed.</p>
