John Dupre's Contribution to the Philosophy of Science
In 2010 John Dupre was elected a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, in my opinion although he has had many great works before this, this is where he begins to do the most impactful studies for science. He was elected to the board for his work on evolution, especially Darwinism. After being elected to the board in 2010 he wrote a book titled "Nature After the Genome". -
Project at Egenis
In May of 2013 Dupre headed a major research project funded by the European Research Council called “A Process Ontology for Contemporary Biology”. This project in the biology of philosophy aims to understand that biology requires we take more seriously the ways in which life is dynamic at all levels, and that what we think of as living things are more fundamental processes, maintained in relatively stable conditions by yet further processes.
