Title: Tuomas Tahko
Where Do You Get Your Protein? (Or: Biochemical Realization)
Biochemical kinds such as proteins pose interesting problems for
philosophers of science. They can be studied both from the point of view of
biology and chemistry, but these different perspectives may result in
different classificatory practices. I will examine the tension that such
classificatory differences produce. We will see that the reducibility of
the biological functions of biochemical kinds to the chemical structures
that realize these functions is a key question here. This leads us to a
more general discussion of multiple realizability and realization at the
biology-chemistry interface. The conclusion is that genuine multiple
realizability may be rare at this interface.
