"The Devil's Advocate," in BioTheory



Hi Folks,
 
I'm very pleased to announce that my personal written contribution to the science journal, BioTheory, that I launched last month... is now plugged into its spot at the journal. It is available for free in PDF format at the following link (Click on "Judith Rosen" when you get there...)
BioTheory: An E-Journal of General Science in the Rosennean Complexity Paradigm http://www.rosen-enterprises.com/RobertRosen/BioTheoryLaunch.htm
 
I suspect that this is not the type of paper many of you are used to finding in a science journal... just as well, really, for many reasons. (Heaven forbid that Rosens should be anything BUT UNorthodox...!) In any case... I tend to believe that this particular paper, about these particular subjects, will have far more truth, in a far more accessible mode, than it would be possible to craft as a writer, using the ordinary format of direct reportage. It's the only way I could really introduce anyone to my father, the man, as well as the science/scientist, at this juncture. The character in the fictional story, "The Devil's Advocate," whose name is Robert Rosen... is exactly faithful to the man I knew and so are his ideas, as far as is humanly possible. I think of fiction as the equivalent of a "word picture" and, as such, fiction can sometimes offer readers far more information than any sum of its words.
 
I would be interested in comments from the list, and constructive criticism is always welcome, too.
 
I hope it is of use to you.
