Logico-empiricist philosophy of biology is a case of wrongful life. After conceiving philosophy of biology logical empiricism did almost everything to prevent it from becoming a healthy subdiscipline of the philosophy of science. Right from its birth logico-empiricist philosophy of biology was a defective child and it has remained so until the late sixties when antipositivistic tort-for-wrongful-life thinking together with other developments set a new philosophical stage for biology.
