The author outlines the structure and main tasks of systematics. Conceptual history is characterized as a succession of scientific revolutions. The philosophical foundations of systematic research are briefly reviewed as well as the structure and content of taxonomic theories. Most important research programs in systematics are outlined. The book includes analysis of the principal problematic issues as \"scientific puzzles\" in systematics. This volume is intended for professional taxonomists, biologists of various specialties, students, as well as all those interested in the history and theory of biology and natural sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey Features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsiders the conceptual history of systematics as the framework of evolutionary epistemology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilds a hierarchically organized quasi-axiomatic system of taxonomic theory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContends that more reductionist taxonomic concepts are less objective \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports taxonomic pluralism by non-classic philosophy of science as a normal condition of systematics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDocuments that \"taxonomic puzzles\" result from conflict between monistic and pluralistic attitudes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eRelated Titles\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ede Queiroz, K. et al., eds. \u003ci\u003ePhylonyms: A Companion to the PhyloCode\u003c\/i\u003e (ISBN 978-1-1383-3293-5)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSigwart, J.
