Philosophy: What is to be done?––Bleak prospects

Culturally, America is well overdue for a Second Enlightenment, but since the dominant majority of its citizens are regrettably both symbol-minded and star-craving mad, and since the mass media are generally inaccessible to us, the chance that contemporary philosophers could contribute to such a thing, much less help instigate it, is near vanishingly small. As educators, in contrast, we can perhaps make ourselves useful by beginning to clear the extensive muck out of at least some of our students’ minds. In any event, the discipline of philosophy as such is in serious need of renewal, but that, should it unexpectedly happen, will be matter of luck rather than a result of deliberate action.     

One hundred and fifty years of philosophy

Looking back from 2049 over one-hundred and fifty years of philosophy, a student's essay reveals what became of rival strands in Western philosophy – with a sidelong glance at the special Topoi issue on the theme “Philosophy: What is to be Done?” that was published almost half a century earlier.     

Philosophy, the “unknown knowns,” and the public use of reason

There are not only true or false solutions, there are also false questions. The task of philosophy is not to provide answers or solutions, but to submit to critical analysis the questions themselves, to make us see how the very way we perceive a problem is an obstacle to its solution. This holds especially for today’s public debates on ecological threats, on lack of faith, on democracy and the “war on terror”, in which the “unknown knowns”, the silent presuppositions we are not aware of, determine our acts.

头颈部鳞状细胞癌治疗方法选择中的理性分析

近年来肿瘤生物治疗已经发展成为继手术、放疗和化疗之后的第四种治疗方法,并且已被逐步应用于头颈部鳞状细胞癌的治疗中。因此,如何选择合适的治疗方法、制定最佳治疗方案成为临床工作的重点。通过辩证性、系统性分析,可以认为优化组合的综合治疗有望成为头颈部鳞状细胞癌的主导治疗方法。     

对农药残留标准的再认识

伴随着工农业生产的迅速发展,化学农药应用范围也越来越广,由此引发了农药中毒及农药残留标准等问题。有机磷农药是目前全世界范围内使用最广、用量最大的一类杀虫剂,有机磷农药可以引起急性中毒、慢性神经毒性等危害。以有机磷农药为例,探讨农药危害和农药残留标准中的几个问题。     

建立鼻腔结构与功能自适应生物力学模型在鼻科疾病中的作用

鼻腔结构在与鼻腔物理力学环境发生交互关系时,能够根据周围环境调整自身结构和形状,即所谓鼻腔结构与功能自适应性.鼻腔结构与功能自适应生物力学模型模拟鼻腔结构异常产生功能障碍所继发的上呼吸道疾病发生发展过程,为鼻科某些常见病的发生发展过程进行量化分析,为鼻内窥镜手术在恢复重建鼻腔结构功能方面临床决策提供依据.
