在过去的几百年里，科学对人类观察者所看到的世界产生了巨大的影响。尽管科学取得了惊人的成就，但当今科学面临着许多威胁其持续成功的挑战。随着科学发明融入人类社会，挑战进一步成倍增加。在这篇批判性评论中，讨论了现代化学领域的一些关键挑战，包括：（a）理论知识和实验方法的相互联系； (b) 在化学设计的根源上落实可持续性原则； (c) 从哲学角度定义科学，承认科学的实用性和现实性； (d) 促进跨学科研究； (e) 学习认识和欣赏科学知识和方法的美学方面，并促进真正鼓舞人心的化学教育。在结论中，我重申，人类知识的进化本质上取决于我们采取创造性解决问题的态度的能力，并且挑战永远存在于科学兴趣的范围内。
In the past few hundred years, science has exerted an enormous influence on the way the world appears to human observers. Despite phenomenal accomplishments of science, science nowadays faces numerous challenges that threaten its continued success. As scientific inventions become embedded within human societies, the challenges are further multiplied. In this critical review, some of the critical challenges for the field of modern chemistry are discussed, including: (a) interlinking theoretical knowledge and experimental approaches; (b) implementing the principles of sustainability at the roots of the chemical design; (c) defining science from a philosophical perspective that acknowledges both pragmatic and realistic aspects thereof; (d) instigating interdisciplinary research; (e) learning to recognize and appreciate the aesthetic aspects of scientific knowledge and methodology, and promote truly inspiring education in chemistry. In the conclusion, I recapitulate that the evolution of human knowledge inherently depends upon our ability to adopt creative problem-solving attitudes, and that challenges will always be present within the scope of scientific interests.
