Dear FISers: The relation between science and philosophy deeply relies on whether the related philosophy is understood as philosophia-prima (in the sense of Aristotle) or as philosophia-ultima (in the sense of Theunissen). If we rely on the latter is needless establishing a clear boundary; philosophy must be regarded as a science...
We argued on this distinction in relation to Floridi's approach, in a couple of publications collected in BITagora about one year ago: http://bitrumagora.wordpress.com/2011/10/23/the-philosophy-of-information-floridi-lays-down-foundations-of-the-new-field/ http://bitrumagora.wordpress.com/2011/11/29/rainer-zimmerman/ Kind regads, J.M. 2013/2/7 <fis-requ...@listas.unizar.es> > Send fis mailing list submissions to > fis@listas.unizar.es > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://webmail.unizar.es/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fis > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > fis-requ...@listas.unizar.es > > You can reach the person managing the list at > fis-ow...@listas.unizar.es > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of fis digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
