Philosophy of Biology
Chris Haufe works on problems in the history and philosophy of science, particularly biology. His current research focuses on conceptions of natural law in biological science from the late 18th century up to the present, the epistemology of subjunctive propositions, and the way in which philosophical presuppositions about science affect scientific funding.
