Abstract
The vagueness typical of many traditional biological concepts continues to be a matter of concern to biologists and philosophers. Even though the results are not always generally accepted, efforts to explicate and clarify such fundamental concepts as organism, species, structure, and function have all contributed to the development of a more critical biology. With this general end in view, the specific purpose of this paper is to analyze the concept of adaptation as it appears within the context of biology and, in particular, in the synthetic theory of evolution.1
