The discovery of bacteriophage one century ago by the French-Canadian Félix d'Herelle set off controversies as to the nature of bacteriophage as well as over the priority and credit for this discovery. The background and life of d'Herelle reveals a complex, self-taught outsider in science who was strongly influenced by his admiration of Louis Pasteur, but also his attachment to the philosophical positions of early 17th century philosophers, especially Francis Bacon. D'Herelle left substantial unpublished writings on his philosophical musings toward the end of his life.
一个世纪前，法裔加拿大科学家费利克斯·德赫雷尔发现了噬菌体，这引发了关于噬菌体本质的争议，以及对这一发现的优先权和功劳归属的争论。德赫雷尔的背景和生平揭示了一个复杂的、自学成才的科学界局外人，他深受对路易·巴斯德的钦佩影响，但同时也执着于17世纪早期哲学家的哲学立场，尤其是弗朗西斯·培根的思想。德赫雷尔在生命的最后留下了大量关于他哲学思考的未发表著作。
