免疫:从科学到哲学

English | 2024 | ISBN: 9781003486800 | 176 pages | True PDF | 2.98 MB

This book explores the essence of immunity. After an initial review of hypotheses, models, and theories proposed to explain immune phenomena in humans and mice, it summarizes the results from synchronic organism‑level analyses and diachronic analyses tracing phylogeny. These results suggest that immunity is coextensive with life and is equipped with functions similar to the nervous system. Philosophical reflection with reference to Spinoza and Canguilhem suggests immunity is part of the essence of life—and the essence of immunity embraces mental elements with normativity. Approaching the essence of any phenomenon in this way is called "metaphysicalization of science." This book demonstrates the potential of this approach and contributes to a richer understanding of nature.

这本书探索了免疫的本质。在对人类和小鼠中提出的用来解释免疫现象的假设、模型和理论进行初步审查后,它总结了同步化物种水平分析以及追溯进化的历时性分析的结果。这些结果表明,免疫与生命共存,并且具备类似于神经系统的功能。通过对斯宾诺莎和康吉尔的观点做哲学反思认为,免疫是生命的本质之一——而免疫的本质则包含了带有规范性的精神元素。以这种方式探讨任何现象的本质被称为“科学的玄学化”。这本书展示了这种方法的潜力,并有助于我们对自然有更丰富的理解。 关键特点 回顾免疫理论的历史 讨论和整合了科学与哲学 提供认知和自我与非我之间的生物学框架 受到阿古斯特·孔德的“三个阶段法则”的启发
