Menneskets «kosmiske situation»
Peter Wessel Zapffe forsøkte å begrunne «hvad det betyr at være menneske», ved hjelp av biologisk teori og empiri. Han framholdt at mennesket er underlagt et ufruktbarhetsimperativ mer enn et fruktbarhetsimperativ og en dødelig fullendelsesdrift snarere enn en selvbevarelsesdrift. I artikkelen underkastes Zapffes myteomspunne konklusjoner en kritisk vurdering, og det argumenteres for at Zapffes endetidsresonnement mangler biologisk begrunnelse. V…
Krisebevissthet og medisinsk leseevne
Faget medisin har gradvis blitt mer avhengig av teknologi på måter som forsterker objektiveringen av mennesket. For pasienten handler dette i økende grad om å bli isolert fra en større kontekst og delt i fragmenter. Vi påpeker at denne utviklingen er beslektet med en distansering til, og tingliggjøring av, naturen. Denne utviklingens etiske implikasjoner fordrer på begge områder besinnelse, tenksomhet, ydmykhet og handlekraft. Vi foreslår derfor …

Subjective health complaints are not associated with tick bites or antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in blood donors in western Norway
The results do not support any association between tick bites or Borrelia antibodies and subjective health complaints in blood donors in an endemic area for Lyme borreliosis
Defending Life
Defending Life discusses the relationship between hosts and parasites. A major contention of the book is that the immune system depends ontologically on the ecosystem in which it is embedded; it would not have the features it has if it was not related in one way or other to parasitic agents and to the host's own cells and tissues. To sustain the argument, life is investigated at all layers - from molecules up through cells, organisms and ecosyste…
Biosemiotic knowledge — a prerequisite for valid explorations of extraterrestrial intelligent life
The scientific search for extraterrestrial intelligent life is probably one of the most ambitious projects ever taken in biology. The article discusses methodological problems associated with the search. It is emphasized that investigators of extraterrestrial intelligence, in contrast to investigators of terrestrial matters, have no valid pre-understanding of their subject matter. In this barren setting, utilization of semiotic knowledge is shown…
