RESUMEN
La distinción entre biología funcional y biología evolutiva, conforme la plantearon E. Mayr y F. Jacob, es clave para un tratamiento conclusivo de uno de los más discutidos problemas de la filosofía de la biología la posible reducción de la biología a física y química. Las preguntas que definen los objetivos cognitivos de la biología funcional son diferentes de aquellas que guían la física son preguntas funcionales; pero las respuestas que buscamos para ellas pueden escribirse en el lenguaje de la física. Mientras tanto, las cuestiones planteadas en la biología evolutiva nos conducen hacia un tipo de discurso intraducible en el lenguaje de la física. Para mostrar esto analizamos los procedimientos experimentales que han sido desarrollados en genética de poblaciones.
ABSTRACT
The distinction between functional biology and evolutionary biology, as set out by E. Mayr and F. Jacob, is central to any conclusive findings on one of the most widely discussed problems in the philosophy of biology the possible reduction of biology to physics and chemistry. The questions that define the cognitive objectives of functional biology are different from those that guide physics they are functional questions, but the answers we seek for them can be expressed in the language of physics. Meanwhile, the questions set forth in evolutionary biology lead to a kind of discourse that cannot be translated into the language of physics. In order to show this we analyze the experimental procedures that have been developed in population genetics.
