[Fis] Emotional Sentience & Information

[Francesco Rizzo]

Dear Kate,
my New Economy known by the FIS is centered on the process of
trans-formation which is
articulated in the triangle of the three neg-entropic surpluses: physical
or thermodynamic; -
eco-biological;-historical-cultural and/or semiotic-hermeneutic. The
compound word
emotional-rational includes and expresses all three. One of my many books
bears the title:
A new adventure between the idolatry of money and the spirit of love with
com-passion
or visceral emotional-rationality (Rome, Aracne 2017). Your Introduction is
effective, leading
and significant. Good! Francesco Rizzo

Gentile Kate,
la mia Nuova economia conosciuta dalla FIS è in-centrata sul processo di
tras-in-formazione
che si articola nel triangolo dei tre surplus neg-entropici: -fisico o
termodinamico; -eco-biologico;
-storico-culturale e/o semiotico-ermeneutico. La parola composto
emo-ra-zionale li com-prende
ed esprime tutti e tre. Uno dei miei tanti libri porta il titolo: Una nuova
avventura tra l'idolatria del
 denaro e lo spirito dell'amore con com-passione o viscerale
emo-ra-zionalità (Roma, Aracne 2017).
La Tua Introduzione è efficace, conducente e significativa. Brava!
Francesco Rizzo
