Ιn The Private Science of Louis Pasteur, Gerald Geison has written a controversial biography that finally penetrates the secrecy that has surrounded much of this legendary scientist's laboratory work. Geison uses Pasteur's laboratory notebooks, made available only recently, and his published papers to present a rich and full account of some of the most famous episodes in the history of science and their darker sides--for example, Pasteur's rush to develop the rabies vaccine and the human risks his haste entailed. The discrepancies between the public record and the "private science" of Louis Pasteur tell us as much about the man as they do about the highly competitive and political world he learned to master.

Although experimental ingenuity served Pasteur well, he also owed much of his success to the polemical virtuosity and political savvy that won him unprecedented financial support from the French state during the late nineteenth century. But a close look at his greatest achievements raises ethical issues. In the case of Pasteur's widely publicized anthrax vaccine, Geison reveals its initial defects and how Pasteur, in order to avoid embarrassment, secretly incorporated a rival colleague's findings to make his version of the vaccine work. Pasteur's premature decision to apply his rabies treatment to his first animal-bite victims raises even deeper questions and must be understood not only in terms of the ethics of human experimentation and scientific method, but also in light of Pasteur's shift from a biological theory of immunity to a chemical theory--similar to ones he had often disparaged when advanced by his competitors.

Through his vivid reconstruction of the professional rivalries as well as the national adulation that surrounded Pasteur, Geison places him in his wider cultural context. In giving Pasteur the close scrutiny his fame and achievements deserve, Geison's book offers compelling reading for anyone interested in the social and ethical dimensions of science.

Reviews:
"Geison's controversial but stunning biography raises many important questions about the nature of science, past and present. . . . [I]t requires us to reevaluate our heroes and consider the complexities of science as it is actually created instead of merely clinging to comforting and heroic myths."--Elizabeth Fee, New England Journal of Medicine

"A fascinating and detailed account of much of Pasteur's life and of French science in the last century."--Lewis Wolpert, The New York Times Book Review

"This book is a scientific biography at its best. With a fine sense of judgment, clear exposition, and the sophistication of the seasoned scholar, Professor Geison has produced a tour-de-force. Unswayed by the extremes of social construction or the prejudices of an animus against science, he has nevertheless revealed the nature of the Pastorian legend and has traced out the manner of its construction. Pasteur emerges still the skillful experimentalist, but also a bold combatant, versed in the art of oratory, and so secretive about his day-to-day work that until his laboratory notebooks became available recently it was impossible to check the myths that have made the legend."--Robert Olby, University of Pittsburgh

". . . a well-documented, evenhanded biography that will be useful for many years to come. . . . a readable, enjoyable biography."--Booklist

"Geison makes Pasteur in many ways worthier of our admiration than the saintly figure of legend was."--The Economist

"In Geison's hands, Pasteur is shown to have been a consummate publicist and showman . . . He was also single minded, secretive and rather selfish. . . . He is, in short, the perfect anti-hero for our anti-heroic age."--W. F. Bynum, Nature

Έχουν καταντήσει πολύ ερειστικά τα σχόλια ενάντια στον Candiru, αυτό είναι ένα δυστυχές γεγονός.

Απ'την άλλη, πολυσέλιδες διαφωνίες (αφού στην ουσία πραγματευόμαστε πάνω-κάτω τα ίδια θέματα περί ιατρικής σε τρία ήδη τόπικ, τα δύο 15+ σελίδων) είναι αναμενόμενο να εκφυλίζονται σε καβγάδες άνευ ουσίας.

Το τραντζίστορ βέβαια συνεχίζει να λειτουργεί.

αν το ότι δεν βάζεις το μυαλ΄σου να σκεφτεί σημαίνει κατάρευση δικών μου επιχειρημάτων τι να πω. Σε ένα τρανζίστορ μπορείς να πριραματιστείς μέχρι να το κάψεις. Κάνεις το ίδιο σε ανθρώπους μόνο και μόνο για να επισπέυσεις τα αποτελέσματα του εμβολίου της λύσσας; Βάζεις σε τέτοιες περιπτώσεις πάνω από όλα την προσωπική δόξα και ανέλιξη;

Ένα τραντζίστορ δε σταματά να λειτουργεί επειδή ο εφευρέτης του ίσως να ήταν καθήκι. Ένα φάρμακο δε σταματά να θεραπεύει αν ο εφευρέτης του είναι παοκτζής ομοφυλόφιλος. ΓΙΑ ΤΟ ΘΕΟ ΔΗΛΑΔΗ!

R., & Delbanco, T. L. (1992). Unconventional medicine in the United
States. New England Journal of Medicine. 328(4), 246-252.

This is the telephone survey on alternative medicine what quite a few
authors are calling complementary medicine but not necessarily holistic
medicine. The only non-Western treatments listed is acupuncture.
The researchers did not try to define "folk remedies", "faith healing"
or "herbal medicine" all of which could fall into regional categories.

The other therapies include: homeopathy, relaxation techniques,
chiropractic, massage, imagery, spiritual healing, commercial weight-loss
programs, lifestyle diets (macrobiotics), megavitamin therapy, self-help
groups, energy healing, biofeedback, hypnosis, exercise, and prayer.

One thing I think you will all agree is: homeopathy is not a non-Western
system. For those of you who haven't read much about it, homeopathy
was conceived and developed by Samuel Hanemann, a German physician who
wrote Organon der rationellen Heilkunde in 1810

εσείς τόχετε δει με όρους κατατρόπωσης, εγώ απλώς παραθέτω την εναλλακτική σκοπιά, την απομυθοποίηση, το ότι τα πράγματα δεν είναι απαραιτητα έτσι, κλπ, κλπ.

Εσεις απορρίπτετε ipso facto κάθε τι εναλλακτικό. Μόνο που θα βρείτε κάπου αυτη τη λέξη ΕΙΝΑΙ ΑΠΑΤΗ, ΕΙΝΑΙ ΑΝΑΞΙΟΠΙΣΤΟ τελεία και παύλα. και ΕΣΕΙΣ αμβισβητήσατε τα αποσπάσματα από το βιβλίο που παρέθεσα αρχικά σχολιάζοντας το ποιόν των σάιτς και εγώ μετά παρουσίασα την οριτζινάλ έκδοσή του.

Και δεν θα επέμενα, αν ΔΕΝ είχα θετικές προσωπικές εμπειρίες. Ανάθεμά με αν ένας από εσάς ξέρει πραγματικά σε τι επιτίθεται με τέτοιο μένος, διότι αν δεν το κατέχεις, αν δεν έχεις την παραμικρή επαφή με αυτό, ΔΕΝ το γνωρίζεις, τουλάχιστον το απορρίπτεις με κάποια μετριοπάθεια, όπως εγώ θεραπείες με τις οποίες δεν είχα καμία επαφή (βοτανοθερεπεία, αρωματοθερεπεία, κλπ)
