Biography
Thierry Hoquet is a professor of science history and philosophy at the Faculté de Philosophie, Université de Lyon (Jean-Moulin), France. I am the scientific editor of the website www.cnrs.buffon.fr and a member of the boards of several journals (Critique , Corpus, Bionomina-International Journal for Biological Nomenclature and Terminology).
My current research focuses on three different topics:
(1) eighteenth-century natural history (mostly Buffon and Linnaeus)
(2) Darwin and the history of Darwinism, with a special interest in the question of variations
(3) the history of the concept of sex in biology, especially with regard to the history of the concept of sexual selection
As a historian and a philosopher of science, I was primarily interested in the great books in science and how major texts shaped our understanding of nature. Working on the concept of sex, my interest in gender issues is now growing, and I am especially interested in the paradoxical figure of the “feminist biologist,” with a dual commitment to both feminist theory and biological research. Female researchers like Sarah B. Hrdy, Patricia Gowaty, Marlene Zuk, and Joan Roughgarden are good examples of this research tradition.
