论神经元再生现象的科学认识论意蕴

本从神经元再生这一新的医学发现出发，阐述了神经元再生现象对以稳定神经结构为基础的科学认识论带来的挑战，并就它对人的大脑可塑性、人工智能的拓展及传统认知观念的更新所具有的意义进行了多角度的分析。论力图表明：神经科学的新发现必然会不断地粉碎陈旧的思维定势所设置的障碍，改变我们对世界的看法，推动哲学观念的变革。

A Race for Marine Space: Science,Values, and Aquaculture Planning in New Zealand

New Zealand (NZ) has developed a coastal management framework that includes large watersheds and territorial waters (out to 12 nautical miles). The article describes the developing conflicts associated with the biophysical and epistemological dimensions of expanding coastal marine space for aquaculture. We first review aquaculture policy in NZ, and recent evidence of the biophysical impacts from increasing terrestrial inputs on marine ecosystems. We provide a case study of conflict over a recent proposal to expand salmon aquaculture in the Marlborough Sounds, which covers some 4,000 km² of sounds, islands, and peninsulas. Based on information and data from interviews of stakeholders involved in the aquaculture planning, we describe three diverse epistemologies of science—client-based science, civic science, and Māori traditional ecological knowledge. We conclude the article with a critical review of how to better resolve spatial conflicts that often emerge in coastal management and planning.
