Historical Cognition and Philosophical Reflection on Certain Issues in Public Health
Journal Title: Medicine and Philosophy - Year 2024, Vol 45, Issue 21
Abstract
In this paper, some cognitive concepts or research methods in public health, such as epidemiological investigation, statistical methods, quarantine, and health community, are reviewed. It aims to explore the origins of these concepts and analyze the challenges they face. It is suggested that qualitative observation and quantitative analysis should be combined in epidemiological investigation to find the most appropriate investigation method. The statistical method tries to find patterns within uncertainty, but such certainty is relative rather than absolute. Quarantine, while beneficial for controlling epidemics, still requires a balance between freedom and security; Whether the World Health Organization can play a role in the face of the global epidemic depends on whether people's understanding of the health community transcends national boundaries and focuses on humanity as a whole.
