Self-Healing Forces and Concepts of Health and Disease. A Historical Discourse

The phenomenon of self-healing forces has again and again challenged doctors in the different historical periods of medical science. They relied on effects of self-healing forces in diagnosis and therapy. They also tried to explain these effects based on the current model of organism. The understanding of this phenomenon has always influenced the understanding of therapy and played a role in defining the concept of health and disease. In the 17th and 18th century the idea of self-healing force was interpreted as a phenomenon related to the organic forces, whereas in the 19th century the explanation was reduced to a materialistic mechanism. Nowadays the knowledge of heath-shock-proteins open the way of a new understanding of the organic defense mechanisms.

20世纪的易学研究及其重要特色——《百年易学菁华集成》前言

回顾20世纪的易学研究,其中有两件最重要的"大事":一是在西方学术思想的影响下,学者们用新的研究视野和历史观念对易学展开了全新的研究,在《周易》经传研究、易学史研究、象数与义理研究上都取得了巨大突破;二是一些极具研究价值的易学考古文献的发现,展现了早期易学的丰富面貌,使得人们不得不重新考量一些历史成说,这在今后的易学研究中无疑具有重要的意义。而今天的易学研究只有"面向易学作为经学的事实本身",才能使源远流长的易学文化得到真正的继承与发扬,更好地应对时代和未来的问题。     

Further observations on the nature of prosopagnosia

Two new cases of prosopagnosia are described and compared with pertinent clinical material from the English language literature. The interpretation of this disorder most compatible with the clinical data appears to us to be that there is an underspecification of visuoperceptive information preventing both the formation of significant face images and the retrieval of well-known face memoranda existing within a relatively intact visual remote memory store. Failure of formation of immediate memoranda of similarly complex visual images is also commonly observed but does not seem to be a requirement for the symptom of prosopagnosia. Conceptualizing this abnormality as simply a material specific visual agnosia of images beyond the classifier level would still appear to be acceptable if less informative.
