- W20072430 abstract "Evolutionary explanations appear to necessitate etiological theories of function. As Amundson and Lauder have shown (Amundson R, Lauder GV. Function without purpose: the uses of causal role function in evolutionary biology. Biol Philos 9:443–70, 1994, reprinted in Allen et al. Nature’s purposes analyses of function and design in biology. The MIT Press, Cambridge, MA, 1998), current biological practice is in fact more pluralistic in its choice of functional explanations, using etiological functions as well as ahistorical causal functions. Here, I will examine how some functional descriptions in ecology and how they are imported into evolutionary explanations strengthen the case for the use of ahistorical functional theories in biology in general but in ecology and evolutionary biology in particular. I will focus on the case of ecosystem evolution where I will argue that fitness is better understood as differential persistence. We shall see that this type of evolutionary phenomenon demands nonhistorical functional explanations. This will be described as a potential vindication for forward-looking functional theories, otherwise known as propensity account of functions. In a more general way, I will show how this vindicates pluralistic account of functional explanations in biology." @default.
