Edition Details: Part of a special section, “Historical and Biological Times: A Celebration of Identity,” a discussion of Hans-Jörg Rheinberger's life and work.
Language: English

A brief description and evaluation of the contributions that Hans-Jörg Rheinberger has made to our understanding of the history of modern views of biological heredity is provided. Focusing on the efforts that Rheinberger and his close collaborator Staffan Müller-Wille, made to bring together previously scattered and unconnected scholarship and produce a unified and strikingly powerful account of the emergence of Heredity first and Genetics later as central explanatory resources for biological sciences, this paper tries to explain the importance of such efforts, and to contribute with suggestions for further work on these topics.
