Dear Emanuel, Gordana,
I'd risk the unpredictable nature of the decision making in the running of
contemporary science. As some friends keep telling me : Van Gogh has never
in his life managed to sell a painting for money. (We all know the Mendel
story.)
So if Emanuel shows you that an invitation
Dear Emanuel,
It is good that you rise this question, as it is of common interest (and you
are sending it to the fis list).
MDPI journals have independent review process.

in physics is empirically based just as it is in the cognitive sciences.
Our problem is to find what underlies both.

Dear Krassimir and colleagues,
The Scientific Revolution of the 17th century was precisely about the
differentiation between scholarly discourse and scholastic disputatio. A
belief system is an attribute of agents and/or of a community. The
sciences, however, develop also as systems of rationa
Krassimir,
What, if like me, you see materialism and idealism as both incorrect,
and adopt something like Russell's neutral monism. I mention this
because I believe information to be neutral between material and ideal.
It is a false dichotomy on my view

Thank you very much for your useful remarks!
This week I was ill and couldn’t work.
