Agency and Organisation: The Dialectics of Nature and Life
暫譯: 代理與組織：自然與生命的辯證法

Rasmus Sandnes Haukedal earned his PhD in Philosophy from Durham University in 2023 with a dissertation on the extended evolutionary synthesis and its philosophical implications. During his PhD studies, he was a research fellow for the Marie Sklodowska-Curie programme Real Smart Cities and co-convened the reading group at the Centre for Culture and Ecology. In his thesis, building the organisational approach in theoretical biology, he argues that the current shifts in evolutionary biology constitutes a dialectical turn, as it accentuates the subjectivity of organismic action - how the organism is able to affect its own evolution. He currently holds a post-doctoral position at the Philosophy department at East China Normal University, during which he intends to expand the dialectical perspective further to demonstrate how dialectics can advance a different scientific ideal that undermines the barrier between the humanities and natural sciences.

拉斯穆斯·桑德內斯·霍克達爾（Rasmus Sandnes Haukedal）於2023年在達勒姆大學（Durham University）獲得哲學博士學位，論文主題為擴展進化綜合論及其哲學意涵。在攻讀博士學位期間，他曾擔任瑪麗·斯克沃多夫斯卡-居里計畫（Marie Sklodowska-Curie programme）「真實智慧城市」（Real Smart Cities）的研究員，並共同主持文化與生態中心的讀書會。在他的論文中，基於理論生物學的組織方法，他主張當前進化生物學的變化構成了一種辯證轉向，因為它強調了有機體行動的主觀性——即有機體如何能夠影響自身的進化。他目前在華東師範大學（East China Normal University）哲學系擔任博士後研究員，期間他打算進一步擴展辯證觀點，以展示辯證法如何推進一種不同的科學理想，從而打破人文學科與自然科學之間的障礙。
