PhilInBioMed – Philosophy in Biology and Medicine

PhilInBioMed is both an interdisciplinary institute located at the University of Bordeaux, France, and an international network of interdisciplinary institutes across the worl. Created by Thomas Pradeu in 2017, PhilInBioMed aims at promoting philosophy in the biological and medical sciences, a co-production of knowledge by the direct interactions of philosophers, biologists, and medical doctors.


The mission of PhilInBioMed is to promote short-term and long-term stays of philosophers in biology and medicine labs, as well as short-term and long-term stays of biologists and MDs in philosophy labs, and, ultimately, collaborative publications by philosophers, biologists, and medical doctors.
