[Fis] THE FOURTH GREAT DOMAIN OF SCIENCE: INFORMATIONAL?

[Dino Buzzetti]

And what about history, philosophy, philology and so on ?  aren't they
sciences at all ?  what's the epistemological ground of your
"classification"
of sciences ?  isn't the absence of maths in the map a problem at all ?
aren't
biology, physics, computer science, and other natural sciences, mentioned
in philosophy of science, history of science and so on ?  is the history of
science an historian's or a natural scientist's business ?  do natural
scientists
care about it at all ?  or isn't it anybody's concern the extension of
bibliometric
criteria to the evaluation of research in the domains of history,
philosophy,
and so on ?
Best,               -dino buzzetti
