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.
