Thinking about mechanisms /with Peter Machamer and Carl F. Craver -- Discovering mechanisma in neurobiology: the case of spatial memory / with Carl F. Craver -- Strategies in the interfield discovery of the mechanism of protein synthesis /with Carl F. craver -- Relationsamong fields: mendelian, cytological, and molecular mechanisms -- Interfield theories /with Nancy Maull -- Theory construction in genetics / Relations among fields in the evolutionary synthesis / Selction type theories / with Joseph A. Cain -- Strategies for anaomaly resolution: diagnosis and redesign -- Exemplars, abstractions and anaomalies: representations and theory change in mendelian and molecular genetics -- Strategies for anaomaly resolution in the case of adaptive mutation -- Strategies for discovering mechanisms: construction, evaluation, revision.

Reasoning in Biological Discoveries brings together a series of essays, which focus on one of the most heavily debated topics of scientific discovery. Collected together and richly illustrated, Darden's essays represent a groundbreaking foray into one of the major problems facing scientists and philosophers of science. Divided into three sections, the essays focus on broad themes, notably historical and philosophical issues at play in discussions of biological mechanism; and the problem of developing and refining reasoning strategies, including interfield relations and anomaly resolution. Darden summarizes the philosophy of discovery and elaborates on the role that mechanisms play in biological discovery. Throughout the book, she uses historical case studies to extract advisory reasoning strategies for discovery. Examples in genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, immunology, neuroscience and evolutionary biology reveal the process of discovery in action.
