SUMMARY:« Organisation as a Theoretical Principle for the Life Sciences »
DESCRIPTION:International Workshop\n« Organisation as a Theoretical Principle for the Life Sciences »\n\nOrganisers:\nMatteo Mossio –  IHPST\, University of Paris 1 & CNRS\, France\nAndrea Gambarotto – Institut Supérieur de Philosophie\, Université Catholique de Louvain\, BelgiumDate and place: 27-29 September 2017\, salle de conferences\, 2nd floor\, IHPST\, Paris\, France\n\n\nRationale\nIn recent years an intense debate has been raised in biology and philosophy of biology to address the question: “does evolutionary theory need a rethink?” The debate\, both scientific and philosophical\, is changing our current views on evolution and life\, by promoting a transition to more “organicist” views of vital phenomena.\nStimulated by the debate within the theory of evolution\, the return of organicism increasingly pervades philosophy of biology and theoretical biology. Also\, organicist approaches are now rapidly expanding to apply to many fields of biological research\, such as systems biology\, developmental biology\, ecology\, origins of life and cancer research.\nBiological organicism has an illustrious history that dates back – to mention some illustrious authors – to Aristotle\, Leibniz\, Kant\, Cuvier and Bernard. In early twentieth century\, organicism was further elaborated by the “Theoretical Biology Club”\, that included among its members Woodger\, Needham\, Waddington and Bertanlaffy.  Since the\, organicism has remained an important perspective in contemporary biology\, although it has been somehow neglected with the establishment of the modern evolutionary synthesis in the 1930s and 1940s and the flourishing of molecular biology in the 1960s.\nDuring the last decades\, the idea that biological systems (including cells\, multicellular organisms\, ecosystems\, etc.) can be completely explained by appealing to the properties of their component parts and their interactions has been the basis for most of the life sciences. In contrast\, organicism emphasises that biological systems are “more than the sum of their parts\,” in the sense that the properties of the parts and their interactions in a biological system are themselves explained by the whole organisation to which they belong.\nAs a result\, a circular relation of dependence is established between the parts and the whole: the properties the organisation depend on the properties of the parts that\, at the same time\, depend on the properties of the whole. Accordingly\, biological organisation is not just the result of the interaction between the parts\, but a theoretical principle that must be presupposed\, and that makes biological explanations possible. From a mere explanandum of biological science\, it becomes today a fundamental explanans.\nThe goal of the workshop is to assess the prospects of the current transition towards organicist perspectives grounded on the principle of organisation. The workshop aims in particular at moving toward on a precise characterisation of the principle\, opening the way to a possible formalisation. The workshop will be inter-disciplinary\, and will gather together philosophers and scientists coming from all the above-mentioned biological fields\, who will discuss issues as the following: \n\nWhat explanatory role can the principle of organization play in biology\, and how can it generate new theoretical frameworks and research programs?\nHow can the principle be applied to interpret experimental data\, and to conceive new experimental setups?\nHow should be interpreted the relations between the principle of organisation and the principle of natural selection?\n\nAttendance is free\, but people are kindly asked to register by email (matteo.mossio@univ-paris1.fr). \nProgramme  \nWednesday 27 September 2017 \n14h00-14h30:    Welcome and Introduction by Matteo Mossio (IHPST\, CNRS\, Paris) & Andrea Gambarotto (ISP\, Université Catholique de Louvain) \nSession 1\nChair: Charbel El-Hani (Institute of Biology\, Federal University of Bahia) \n14h30-15h30 :   Charles Wolfe (Ghent University) : “Whole – Part Relations: The Montpellier Vitalist Approach ?”\n15h30-16h30 :   Georg Toepfer (Zentrum für Literatur und Kultursforschung\, Berlin): “‘Organisation’ and its Relationship to Other Fundamental Biological Concepts”\n16h30-17h00 :   Coffee break\n17h00-18h00 :   Olivier Sartenaer (ISP\, Université Catholique de Louvain): “Does organicism really need organisation?” \nThursday 28 September 2017 \nSession 2\nChair: Laurent Loison (IHPST\, CNRS\, Paris) \n09h15-10h15 :   Olaf Wolkenhauer (SBI\, Rostock University): “A Conceptual Framework to Investigate Tissue Organisation”\n10h15-10h45 :   Coffee break\n10h45-11h45 :   Ana Soto (IPP\, Tufts University School of Medicine) & Maël Montévil (MSC\, University of Paris 7 Diderot) : “Modeling mammary organogenesis from biological first principles: cells and organization of constraints”\n11h45-12h45 :   Kepa Ruiz-Mirazo (IAS-Research\, University of the Basque Country): “Searching for the principles of biological organization through a ‘systems chemistry’ approach” \n12h45-14h30 :   Lunch \nSession 3\nChair: Gaëlle Pontarotti (IHPST\, University of Paris 1) \n14h30-15h30 :   Gertrudis van der Vijver (HICO\, Ghent University): “Organisation: a presupposition\, a hypothesis\, a principle\, an Idea?
