 <b>Jb>. B. S. Haldane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 JBS Haldane
Haldane was an extravagant, adventurous, and somewhat larger-than-life character, who was prepared to address himself to almost any subject under the sun to almost any audience.
Haldane was trying to pin the dialectic onto biology from outside it, Lemer asserted, but it was "purely gratuitous." Replying, Haldane insisted that the dialectic was indeed an aid both to the understanding of known biological facts and to the discovery of new ones.
Haldane argued on the side of Engels and, on the basis of such an approach, put forward his own argument for the existence of contradictions in matter: mind was intimately connected with matter and mirrored its behaviour; therefore, if there were contradictions in the mind there must be contradictions in matter.

Haldane also wrote fiction and verse as well as political works in support of his Marxist position, notably The Marxist Philosophy and the Sciences (1938).
As one of the most influential scientists of the 20th cent, he studied relationships among different disciplines and problems, including the consequence of Mendelian genetics on evolutionary theory, the relationship between enzymology and genetics, and the application of mathematics and statistics to the study of biology.

Between 1892 and 1900 Haldane introduced a number of new methods for investigating various aspects of the respiratory functions, publishing papers on methods for determining the respiratory exchange, the amount of haemoglobin in the blood, the quantity and tension of the gases of the blood, the volume of the blood, and the analysis of air.
Haldane condemned the doctrine of "vital force" as vigorously as he did the mechanistic theory of life by which that doctrine was succeeded.

 Haldane, John Scott
In 1905, Haldane published his idea that breathing is controlled by the effect of the concentration of carbon dioxide in arterial blood on the respiratory centre of the brain.
Haldane devised methods for studying respiration and the blood - the Haldane gas analyser and an apparatus for determining the blood gas content.
Having investigated the danger to miners of suffocation, he turned to the toxicity of carbon monoxide, which is usually present in mines after an explosion, and showed that this gas binds to the haemoglobin in the blood in preference to oxygen.
