For anyone interested in the philosophy of microbiology – and who shouldn’t be? – the Centre for Genomics in So­ciety of the University of Exeter (UK) sponsors a website called Dimensions of Microbiology. There you will find all sorts of material relevant to this way of looking at micro­biology. For instance, there are links to a Philosophical and Social Dimen­sions of Microbiology Workshop, to pa­pers on the Philosophy of Bacterial Systematics/Spe­cies, to a series of papers on Towards a Philosophy of Micro­biology, and much more. This is a must for those inter­ested in looking beyond the rim of a Petri dish.
