How did Ayala integrate biology and philosophy?
My approach was to bridge disciplines. I saw a profound continuity between empirical biological findings and philosophical inquiry. I used the systematic, evidence-based methodology of biology to address fundamental questions in the philosophy of science. This allowed me to explore the implications of evolutionary theory for our understanding of life, ethics, and even the relationship between science and other forms of knowledge, like theology.
