Welcoming David Cortés García to the KLI

We are happy to welcome our new Postdoctoral Fellow, David Cortés-García, to the KLI.

David is a philosopher of biology with a background in both biology and philosophy of science, and a particular interest in theoretical biology, organism-centered approaches, and evolutionary developmental biology. He obtained his PhD at the University of the Basque Country in 2025.

His research focuses on the conceptual foundations of biological reproduction, challenging prevailing models that reduce reproduction to an auxiliary concept used to explain heredity, biological organization, or adaptive evolution. In his project “Expanding Biological Reproduction: Towards an Organismal and Relational Framework,” David develops a philosophical framework for understanding biological reproduction as a relational and organismal phenomenon, aiming to contribute to a more integrative understanding of how life persists, individuates, and reorganizes across generations.

We wish David a productive and enjoyable time at the KLI and in Austria.
