Экология современной медицины: предвосхищающие идеи Д. Велланского
Scientific research over the past few decades demonstrates the increased interest of scientists in people who exist in the epicenter of successive crises (technological, environmental, humanitarian, etc.). The search for stability, maintaining in proper condition the very “house” that ecology speaks of in its own name, turns out to be the main task at all levels of human life. Today ecology ceases to be a “classical” discipline, expanding to a methodological interdisciplinary principle. The priority becomes a comfortable mutual existence within a common environment. This environment can be a familiar example of biogeocenosis, it can be the coexistence of cultures or elements within the culture itself, and, of course, it can be science (and all the activity associated with it - the subject-scientist and his experiments, the researcher as a member of a scientific group, the scientific search and development of academic disciplines), ensuring the systematic expansion of areas of scientific knowledge. A kind of “expansion” is also regulated by the ecology of science, since man remains at the center with his interactions within the framework of the first or second Nature. Medicine occupies a special place in this approach - as a system that combines theoretical knowledge and practical implementation. The ecology of medicine, as one of the areas of ecology of modern science, allows us to identify a number of problematic factors in the life of a doctor - as a scientist, researcher, theorist and practitioner at the same time. And despite the fact that the ecology of science (and medicine as well), as a direction, has emerged quite recently, anticipatory ideas can be seen in the works of Russian philosophers, scientists and experimenters. Thus, the natural philosophical heritage of the 19th century surgeon Daniil Mikhailovich Vellansky demonstrates the “human dimension” and “ecological nature” of theoretical discussions about the status of the doctor and his role in the development of ‘Medical science’ of that time.
