In Organisms and Artifacts, Tim Lewens investigates the analogical use of the language of design in evolutionary biology. Lewens argues that examining the analogy between the processes of evolution and the processes by which artifacts are created -- looking at organisms as analogical artifacts -- sheds light on explanations of the form of both organic and inorganic objects.
