AbstractOur paper consists of four parts. In the first part, we describe the challenge of the pervasive and permanent philosophical disagreement over philosophers’ epistemic self-esteem. In the second part, we investigate the attitude of philosophers who have high epistemic self-esteem even in the face of philosophical disagreement and who believe they have well-grounded philosophical knowledge. In the third section, we focus on the attitude of philosophers who maintain a moderate level of epistemic self-esteem because they do not attribute substantive philosophical knowledge to themselves but still believe that they have epistemic right to defend substantive philosophical beliefs. In the fourth section, we analyse the attitude of philosophers who have a low level of epistemic self-esteem in relation to substantive philosophical beliefs and make no attempt to defend those beliefs. We argue that when faced with philosophical disagreement philosophers either have to deny that the dissenting philosophers are their epistemic peers or have to admit that doing philosophy is less meaningful than it seemed before. In this second case, philosophical activity and performance should not contribute to the philosophers’ overall epistemic self-esteem to any significant extent.

And Performance

This article revolves around the discovery of matter. The first section concerns science studies. It emphasizes the importance of a focus on practice and performance as a way of undoing the ‘linguistic turn’ in the humanities and social sciences. The key concept here is that of a dance of agency. The second section reviews a variety of examples of this dance in fields beyond the natural sciences — civil engineering, pig farming, and convivial relations with dogs, architecture, technologies of the self, biological computing, brainwave music, and certain hylozoist and Eastern spirituality. This article focuses on contrasting forms that dances of agency and their products can take, depending on the presence or absence of an organizing telos of self-extinction. The third and final section reflects on the significance of this contrast for a politics of theory. This article traces the discovery of matter followed by the concepts of method, time, and agency.

Peritoneal metastasis (PM) is detected in 14% of gastric cancers at the time of initial diagnosis, with a median survival time of 4 months. A 66-year-old woman diagnosed with cT4a(SE) N2M1(LYN) cStage IV was treated with three lines of chemotherapy for a year. During the third line of chemotherapy, computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a large amount of ascites, periportal collar sign, and bilateral ureteral stenosis owing to PM. The tumor biomarkers (CEA and CA 19–9) remained elevated similar to the initial levels. The patient was administered 3 mg/kg nivolumab intravenously biweekly as the fourth line of chemotherapy. Three months after the nivolumab treatment, gastroscopy revealed an extreme reduction of the tumor size, while CT scan revealed the absence of ascites and a well-controlled tumor. There was no immune-related adverse event with nivolumab during and after the treatment, and performance status improved to 0. The patient has been alive for about 2.5 years since her first visit with her sixth line of chemotherapy (docetaxel). We report a case of advanced gastric cancer with PM that was treated successfully with nivolumab.
