Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Immunology is central to contemporary biology and medicine, but it also provides novel philosophical insights. Its most significant contribution to philosophy concerns the understanding of biological individuality: what a biological individual is, what makes it unique, how its boundaries are established and what ensures its identity through time. Immunology also offers answers to some of the most interesting philosophical questions. What is the definition of life? How are bodily systems delineated? How do the mind and the body interact? In this Element, Thomas Pradeu considers the ways in which immunology can shed light on these and other important philosophical issues. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core. In this Element, Thomas Pradeu considers the ways in which current immunology sheds light on some of the most important contemporary philosophical issues, from the persistence of identity through time to the interaction of mind and body.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. La philosophie de la biologie, tout en reconsiderant les principes de la tradition philosophique (l'essence, l'individualite, la nature humaine), s'interroge sur les fondements conceptuels, theoriques et methodologiques des sciences du vivant contemporaines. Parmi les questions les plus discutees, il y va aussi bien de la definition du gene que de l'interpretation des notions de selection naturelle et d'adaptation, ou encore de la question des unites de selection. Les textes proposes dans ce premier volume sont a l'image des problematiques diverses et fecondes qui se sont developpees ces cinquante dernieres annees. Ils traitent de l'explication biologique, de l'heredite, et du developpement. Dans leur dimension epistemologique ils considerent les notions de causalite, de loi, de theorie et de mecanisme. Dans leur dimension plus appliquee, ils s'efforcent de comprendre l'attribution de fonctions a certains traits du vivant ou le comment du fonctionnement des organismes (la transmission d'une information genetique, la neurotransmission, ou encore le developpement embryonnaire).

Paperback. Condition: New. What counts as an individual in the living world? What does it mean for a living thing to remain the same through time, while constantly changing? These questions are the province of immunology, one of the most dynamic fields in biology. Immunology answers these questions with its theory of "self" and "nonself" which has dominated the field since the 1940s. Thomas Pradeu argues that this theory is inadequate, because immune responses to self constituents and immune tolerance of foreign entities are the rule, not the exception. Instead Pradeu advances an alternative theory, the continuity theory, which offers a new way to answer the question of what triggers an immune response. It also echoes the recent realization that all organisms, and not only higher vertebrates, have an immune system. Pradeu's main thesis is that the self-nonself theory should be abandoned, but that immunology still proves to be decisive for delineating the boundaries of the organism. Articulating an evolutionary and an immunological perspective, he offers an original conception of the organism. Tolerance of the fetus by the mother and of countless bacteria on the body's surfaces proves that every organism is heterogeneous, that is, made of entities of different origins. In other words, every organism appears as a chimera , a mixed living thing-the cohesiveness of which is ensured by the constant action of its immune system. The Limits of the Self, will be essential reading for anyone interested in the definition of biological individuality and the understanding of the immune system.
