1. 1. The Triumph Of Uncertainty

   

   A philosophical and practical defense of uncertainty in science and medicine, arguing that unpredictable, complex biological and social systems resist purely reductionist, deterministic models; the author traces historical and conceptual roots of scientific overconfidence, shows how probabilistic reasoning, pluralistic methods, and ethical reflection can improve clinical care and public policy, and advocates epistemic humility, patient-centeredness, and strengthened trust between experts and the public as ways to responsibly manage risk and deepen scientific understanding rather than seeking illusory certainty.

2. 2. The Immune Self

   Theory or Metaphor?

   

   This book critically examines the dominant self/nonself framework in immunology, arguing that immune identity is not a fixed, purely biological property but an emergent, interpretive process shaped by development, history, and organism–environment interactions. Through historical and philosophical analysis of immunological theory and practice, the author challenges reductionist accounts that portray the immune system solely as a defensive mechanism and instead emphasizes its roles in tolerance, regulation, and the construction of biological individuality. The work explores implications for understanding autoimmunity, disease, and scientific reasoning, advocating a more nuanced, relational view of immunity that integrates empirical findings with conceptual reflection.
