RESUMEN
Traigo a colación observaciones sobre problemas que subyacen a muchas de las reflexiones de filosofía de la biología entorno a la caracterización del viviente y la noción de función biológica. Alerto sobre la suplantación de la realidad por información científica inexacta, nocionesentificadas y modelos teóricos preconcebidos. Abogo por el análisis, antes de cualquier otra reflexión, de la relación entre la unidad y la multiplicidad de notas del viviente, análisis que explica la distintiva individualidad del organismo. Finalmente, anuncio el paradigma constitucional como una nueva aproximación al viviente, marco que toma como punto de partida al viviente como realidad estructurante.
PALABRAS CLAVE

ABSTRACT
This paper aims to deal with some problems underlying contemporary reflections on philosophy of biology, particularly the definition of living being and the idea of biological function. I warn about the danger of taking for granted imprecise scientific information and biased theoretical models. I defend the analysis of the relationship between unity and multiplicity as key features of the living being, which highlights the distinctive individuality of the organism. Finally, I introduce the constitutional paradigm as a new approach to the study of the living being, a frame which takes, as its starting point, the living being as «structuring reality».
