Re: [Fis] Intelligence Science
cari Tutti, L'idealismo o il materialismo scientifico da solo non serve a niente. Razionalità ed emozionalità combinate danno luogo a quella emo-ra-zionalità che rende intelligente la scienza. Tuttavia, l'intelligenza della scienza non dipende esclusivamente nè dalle capacità di osservare le "cose" della natura nè dalle"idee" del pensiero. Entrambe debbono essere compenetrate (Riemann, Poincarè, Planck. Einstein, etc.) per dare luogo a quella "sensata esperienza"(Galilei) che ci consente di comprendere le idee degli oggetti o gli oggetti delle idee. Se vediamo le cose così, la pace è assicurata in uno con la conoscenza della conoscenza. Mi permetto di fare queste affermazioni, sempre con umiltà, alla luce della mia esperienza teorico-pratica di 'economia che è una scienza mediatrice di tutte le scienze, come sostiene anche Ernst Mach. Un saluto più che cordiale e augurale.
