Auguste Comte and the Académie des sciences

Auguste Comte and the Académie des sciences

Auguste Comte is often considered the nineteenth-century spokesperson for scientism. But Comte’s interaction with the Académie des sciences demonstrates that his view of science was far more complex. His relationship to the Académie was as ambivalent as his attitude toward the sciences. Rather than embracing a value-free, technocratic vision of the world as is generally assumed, he believed a more just society could be created partly by curtailing the very sciences that he celebrated as the foundation of positivism.Comte’s predilection for the sciences appeared early.  Born in 1...

Why Conan O'Brien was such a brilliant late-night host

Why Conan O'Brien was such a brilliant late-night host

edition.cnn.com

For the first time since 1993 (aside from a brief period in 2010), Conan O'Brien will not have a late-night television show. The last edition of "Conan" rolls out on TBS Thursday night.He does have something new planned for TV — a series on WarnerMedia's HBO Max that is being labeled a variety-style show. (WarnerMedia is CNN's parent company.) Whatever it is, Conan will surely be funny; because, when all the Sturm und Drang of his late-night career is put to one side (and there was surely a lot of that), what stands out is how original and truly off-the wall his comedic style — and m...

Insights into infectious disease in the era of Hippocrates

Insights into infectious disease in the era of Hippocrates

sciencedirect.com

Hippocrates is traditionally considered the father of modern medicine, still influencing, 25 centuries after his time, various aspects of medical practice and ethics. His collected works include various references to infectious diseases that range from general observations on the nature of infection, hygiene, epidemiology, and the immune response, to detailed descriptions of syndromes such as tuberculous spondylitis, malaria, and tetanus. We sought to evaluate the extent to which this historical information has influenced the modern relevant literature. Associating disease to the disequilibrium of body fluids may seem an ancient and outdated notion nowadays, but many of the clinical descriptions presented in the Corpus Hippocraticum (Hippocratic Collection) are still the archetypes of the natural history of certain infectious diseases and their collective interplay with the environment, climate, and society. For this reason, modern clinicians and researchers continue to be attracted to these ‘lessons’ from the past – lessons that remain extremely valuable....

The Crimean War as a technological enterprise

Discussions of the Crimean War (1853–56) often emphasize its leaders’ military and political incompetence and logistic failures, which led to heavy losses both on the battlefield and to disease.

Reflections on Charles Dickens

I have always enjoyed reading Dickens's writings – for his wonderful use of the English language as well as for his concern for social issues. His descriptions of doctor and nurse in his novel Martin Chuzzlewit are reminders of the vast improvement in the attitudes and skills of both doctor and n...
