Topic Reminder

There are many other forums and arenas for discussion and debates of politics, policies, and so on. On this list our concern is the continued development and applications of Rosen's concepts in science. Clearly, such applications can often be related to policies (in the most general sense), and so specific examples are occasionally helpful as empirical evidence. By and large though, our list focus is on the science, distinct from any particular policy, either existing or proposed. Where they intersect, proposed policies demand as much, if not more, rigor and scrutiny and skepticism as do existing policies. On this list we endeavor to utilize and develop the Rosennean paradigm, with its concepts of epistemology and complexity and modes of analysis, to enhance the capabilities of science, and thereby hopefully provide reliable and compelling underpinnings for both scientific knowledge and its applications.
