Download or read book Thinking about Life written by Paul S. Agutter and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-11-05 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our previous book, About Life, concerned modern biology. We used our present-day understanding of cells to ‘define’ the living state, providing a basis for exploring several general-interest topics: the origin of life, extraterrestrial life, intelligence, and the possibility that humans are unique. The ideas we proposed in About Life were intended as starting-points for debate – we did not claim them as ‘truth’ – but the information on which they were based is currently accepted as ‘scientific fact’. What does that mean? What is ‘scientific fact’ and why is it accepted? What is science – and is biology like other sciences such as physics (except in subject m- ter)? The book you are now reading investigates these questions – and some related ones. Like About Life, it may particularly interest a reader who wishes to change career to biology and its related subdisciplines. In line with a recommendation by the British Association for the Advancement of Science – that the public should be given fuller information about the nature of science – we present the concepts underpinning biology and a survey of its historical and philosophical basis.

Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage a pour but de répondre au "devoir qui s'impose, aujourd'hui plus que jamais, aux hommes de sciences de penser leur discipline dans l'ensemble de la culture moderne pour l'enrichir non seulement de connaissances techniquement importantes, mais aussi des idées venues de leur science qu'ils peuvent croire humainement signifiantes. L'ingénuité même d'un regard neuf (celui de la science l'est toujours) peut parfois éclairer d'un jour nouveau d'anciens problèmes ..."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cette synthèse originale propose une histoire complète des sciences du vivant, de l'Antiquité à aujourd'hui, incluant des domaines souvent négligés comme l'écologie, l'éthologie ou la biologie végétale et donnant une grande place au contexte socio-technologique. Son ambition est d'aider à comprendre la biologie actuelle : les modèles utilisés par les biologistes contemporains et les débats qui animent les sciences du vivant portent en eux l'histoire dont ils sont le fruit. Un tel ouvrage est indispensable aux chercheurs et aux étudiants en sciences de la vie, qui méconnaissent trop souvent l'histoire de leur discipline, aux historiens eux-mêmes pour qui les sciences prennent une importance croissante et à tout lecteur intéressé par l'évolution des idées. Michel Morange, biologiste, est professeur à l'université Pierre-et-Marie-Curie et à l'École normale supérieure de Paris. Il est l'auteur de plusieurs ouvrages, dont Histoire de la biologie moléculaire et Les Secrets du vivant : contre la pensée unique en biologie.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La quatrième de couverture indique : "La création, l'émergence et la nouveauté sont des notions indispensables pour comprendre l'évolution naturelle et l'histoire culturelle. Il est toutefois bien difficile de les définir : comment en effet repenser adéquatement la nouveauté et l'émergence ? Comment même les envisager, avec leurs conséquences et leurs répercussions, dans l'histoire humaine en général si la vie, la conscience et la culture forment des noeuds gordiens impossibles à défaire ? Cet essai espère résoudre de tels problèmes en répertoriant les contradictions et les tensions des projets naturalistes. Une autre image de l'histoire humaine surgit alors, plus surprenante que celle imposée par la phénoménologie de la vie et la psychologie évolutionniste."
Download or read book Essays in the History of the Physiological Sciences written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-01-29 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of the physiological sciences remains an open field of investigation for scholars from different disciplines. A recent shift of interest towards physiology as the mother of many contemporary biomedical disciplines, has been observed on both scientific and historical levels. Due to its unique richness and variety of facts, interpretations, theoretical models, and moreover unanswered questions, physiology remains a matter of considerable, historical and epistemological interest. For scholars interested in the experimental as well as the conceptual and theoretical aspects of the physiological sciences in their broader sense, and concerned by their place within the national and international frameworks of biomedical research, forms of cooperation have been proposed within the networks of the European Association for the History of Medicine and health. The present volume is the first publication of this cooperation. In this volume definite disciplines like neurophysiology and endocrinology, and comparative international aspects are under scrutiny by well established scientists and scholars, physiologists, historians and philosophers. A strong emphasis is placed upon neuroscientific topics like brain localization, functional architecture, physiological mechanisms, behavioral and integrative aspects of the neurosciences, neurotransmission. Local research traditions, national differences and forms of international communication are also examined.

Download or read book Philosophy of Biology Before Biology written by Cécilia Bognon-Küss and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-02-11 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of the term "biology" to refer to a unified science of life emerged around 1800 (most prominently by scientists such as Lamarck and Treviranus, although scholarship has indicated its usage at least 30-40 years earlier). The interplay between philosophy and natural science has also accompanied the constitution of biology as a science. Philosophy of Biology Before Biology examines biological and protobiological writings from the mid-eighteenth century to the early nineteenth century (from Buffon to Cuvier; Kant to Oken; and Kielmeyer) with two major sets of questions in mind: What were the distinctive conceptual features of the move toward biology as a science? What were the relations and differences between the "philosophical" focus on the nature of living entities, and the "scientific" focus? This insightful volume produces a fresh but also systematic perspective both on the history of biology as a science and on the early versions of, in the 1960s in a post-positivist context, the philosophy of biology. It will appeal to students and researchers interested in fields such as history of science, philosophy of science and biology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By then he had already published widely and had assembled a team of research specialists and students who approached the study of the nervous system through the celebrated methode anatomo-clinique that correlated specific neurological signs with discrete lesions in the central nervous system. Pushing beyond the bounds of anatomical study, Charcot went on to study hysteria, attracting both scientific and social notoriety.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the decade from 1935-1945, while the Second World War raged in Europe, a new class of medicines capable of controlling bacterial infections launched a therapeutic revolution that continues today. The new medicines were not penicillin and antibiotics, but sulfonamides, or sulfa drugs. The sulfa drugs preceded penicillin by almost a decade, and during World War II they carried the main therapeutic burden in both military and civilian medicine. Their success stimulated a rapid expansion of research and production in the international pharmaceutical industry, raised expectations of medicine, and accelerated the appearance of new and powerful medicines based on research. The latter development created new regulatory dilemmas and unanticipated therapeutic problems. The sulfa drugs also proved extraordinarily fruitful as starting points for new drugs or classes of drugs, both for bacterial infections and for a number of important non-infectious diseases. This book examines this breakthrough in medicine, pharmacy, and science in three parts. Part I shows that an industrial research setting was crucial to the success of the revolution in therapeutics that emerged from medicinal chemistry. Part II shows how national differences shaped the reception of the sulfa drugs in Germany, France, Britain, and the United States. The author uses press coverage of the day to explore popular perceptions of the dramatic changes taking place in medicine. Part III documents the impact of the sulfa drugs on the American effort in World War II. It also shows how researchers came to an understanding of how the sulfa drugs worked, adding a new theoretical dimension to the science of pharmacology and at the same time providing a basis for the discovery of new medicinal drugs in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. A concluding chapter summarizes the transforming impact of the sulfa drugs on twentieth-century medicine, tracing the therapeutic revolution from the initial breakthrough in the 1930s to the current search for effective treatments for AIDS and the new horizons opened up by the human genome project and stem cell research.
