Limmunologie en question Les impasses de la théorie actuelle et leurs possibles dépassements

The author invites us to re-examine the landscape sketched by the forerunners of immunological theory, as well as by the scientists who succeeded them and contributed to the building. The author explains to the reader the main ideas of the theory, namely the distinction between self and non-self and clonal selection, which also demonstrates how they are inspired by Darwin’s natural selection principles. In a lengthy and both scientific and philosophical argument, the author questions the meaning of death and the origin of life before concluding that biology is the science that studies life without being able to explain its origin. By methodically and logically reexamining the two key ideas of immunology theory, he discovers that they are inherently incomplete and fragmented. It shows how the mind could grasp these challenges and overcome them. According to this perspective, the scientific method that would enable the emergence of authentic knowledge about the living should be supported by moral principles that would separate it from political, economic, and ideological considerations.
