Limits of the Self: Immunology and Biological Identity
ISBN: 9780199775286 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. 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...

Individuals Across the Sciences
ISBN: 9780199382514 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What are individuals? How can they be identified? These are crucial questions for philosophers and scientists alike. Criteria of individuality seem to differ markedly between metaphysics and the empirical sciences - and this might well explain why no work has hitherto attempted to relate the contributions of metaphysics, physics and biology on this question. This timely volume brings together various strands of research into 'individuality', examining how different sciences handle the issue, and reflecting on how this scientific work relates to metaphysical concerns. The collection...

Towards a Theory of Development
ISBN: 9780199671434 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Is it possible to explain and predict the development of living things? What is development? Articulate answers to these seemingly innocuous questions are far from straightforward. To date, no systematic, targeted effort has been made to construct a unifying theory of development. This novel work offers a unique exploration of the foundations of ontogeny by asking how the development of living things should be understood. It explores the key concepts of developmental biology, asks whether general principles of development can be discovered, and examines the role of models and theories....

Mapping the Future of Biology: Evolving Concepts and Theories
ISBN: 9789048181759 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 173 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Carving Nature at its Joints? In order to map the future of biology we need to understand where we are and how we got there. Present day biology is the realization of the famous metaphor of the organism as a bete DEGREES machine elaborated by Descartes in Part V of the Discours, a realization far beyond what anyone in the seventeenth century could have im- ined. Until the middle of the nineteenth century that machine was an articulated collection of macroscopic parts, a system of gears and levers moving gasses, solids, and liquids, and causing some parts of the machine to move in response to...
