Organisms and Us: How Living Things Help Us To Understand Our World

研究人员如何向非人类有机体学习并与之“一起思考”？这个项目试图对20世纪和21世纪初生物体研究的角色和理解的变化进行全面的历史和哲学探索。生物和生物医学科学的内容和技术的进步使我们对生物体的知识和学习有了新的理解，特别是关于人类的功能、健康和福祉，但我们没有一种综合的学术来研究这些领域的发展。该项目旨在产生与人文学者、科学家、临床医生和政策制定者相关的有用的学术成果。

How do researchers learn from and 'think with' non-human organisms? This project seeks to develop a comprehensive historical and philosophical exploration of the changing roles and understandings of research with organisms in 20th and early 21st century science. Advances in the content and technologies of the biological and biomedical sciences have resulted in new understandings of what we can know and learn from organisms, particularly with regard to human functioning, health, and well-being, yet we have no integrated scholarship examining these developments across a range of fields. This project seeks to produce useful scholarship relevant for humanities scholars, scientists, clinicians and policy-makers.
