Dear All,

It is quite nice listening to all these exchanges after the "diet" of 
past months. I have a few lateral comments to make:

1. Natural philosophy is not religiously laden but it is quite "modern". 
It was used along the scientific revolution, mostly around Newton's 
time, to separate from scholastic philosophy (Wooton, 2015). Actually it 
becomes the intellectual expression of the fundamental revolution that 
had been taking place around the printing press and the accelerated 
circulation of ideas in the Western World. The term science was 
non-existing at that time and only the trivium-quadrivium ancient 
framework was at hand... so, natural philosophy (as Lars-Goran points) 
was a growing consensus along a new view of the world and of knowledge, 
irrespective that one could ad of subtract his/her religious personal 
background.

2. About religious legacies, we cannot complain so much. Priesthood was 
a way of living, much like civil servants today, or "tenure" in the 
university system. By the way, Western universities are a religious 
legacy themselves. They were the transplantation to the urban milieu of 
the highly successful formula of the monastic system. During long 
centuries, after the disintegration of the Roman Empire, it was the 
widespread diffusion of monastic institutions what kept afloat the 
knowledge system in a chaotic world. Technologies were tremendously 
developed there, together with the "mechanical arts" (term of monastic 
origins). It represented the social elevation of the previously 
practical skills reserved to servants.

3. OK, coming back to our exchanges, it is very exciting the 
philosophical discussion per se, but if it is not related to the 
scientific & technological changes of today (see comments from Gordana) 
it will be of scarce help in the "daunting task" (Joseph) we have at 
hand. I will insist, notwithstanding the healthy skepticism of my FIS 
colleagues, that we have BIG PIECES of new biomolecular knowledge (a 
genuine bioinfo revolution still taking place) waiting to be translated 
into general conceptualizations of multidisciplinary and philosophical 
fields. And I will keep trying it...

By the way, Bruno has made very intriguing points that I think dovetail 
with my comments on laws of nature many weeks ago. Often we really speak 
different tongues, and mutual comprehension becomes blurred.  But that's 
part of the intrigue and charm of our unending exchanges.

And this my second cent for this week.

Best--Pedro
