Philosophy in Reality
Philosophy in Reality
Three disciplines address the codified forms and rules of human thought and reasoning: logic, available since antiquity; dialectics as a process of logical reasoning; and semiotics which focuses on the epistemological properties of the extant domain. However, both the paradigmatic-historical model of knowledge and the logical-semiotic model of thought tend to incorrectly emphasize the separation and differences between the respective domains vs. …
Carving Out Tobacco From Trade Agreements

Stéphane Lupasco
L’émergence de la science non classique (physique quantique) a eu un impact limité sur les fondations logiques classiques de la pensée et de la philosophie en général et des sciences sociales et humaines en particulier. Cependant, se basant sur cette physique, le penseur franco-roumain Stéphane Lupasco (Bucarest, 1900-Paris, 1988) a étendu la logique aux processus et événements réels et à leurs relations fondamentalement antagonistes.

Introduction to the Special Issue ICTs and Society - A New Transdiscipline? What Kind of Academic Field Do We Need to Meet the Challenges of the Information Age
Information in Reality
The recent history of information theory and science shows a trend in emphasis from quantitative measures to qualitative characterizations. In parallel, aspects of information are being developed, for example by Pedro Marijuan, Wolfgang Hofkirchner and others that are extending the notion of qualitative, non-computational information in the biological and cognitive domain to include meaning and function. However, there is as yet no consensus on w…
Prolegomenon to a Logic for the Information Society
The rapid development of information and communication technologies and their applications has stimulated many definitions of an Information Society (IS), and the related concept of a Knowledge-Based Economy (KBE) from the technological, political and economic standpoints. The ethics proposed for the emerging IS has concentrated on reducing inequalities in access to technological developments.In a key Report, “ICTs and Society”, Hofkirchner et al…
Global Trade and Public Health
Global trade and international trade agreements have transformed the capacity of governments to monitor and to protect public health, to regulate occupational and environmental health conditions and food products, and to ensure affordable access to medications. Proposals under negotiation for the World Trade Organization’s General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) and the regional Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) agreement cover a wide …
The FTAA
This article analyzes how the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) would likely exacerbate critical threats to health in the Americas, from the perspectives of public health and human rights. These threats include crises in access to health care, water, and other vital human services; reemerging but preventable fatal diseases; the advance of AIDS; and biohazards. Disparities in power, wealth, health spending, and infant mortality, that undermin…
