Erratum: The philosophy of philosophies: Synthesis through diversity (Philosophies, (2016), 1(1), 10.3390/philosophies1010068)

The author wishes to add the following correction to his paper published in Philosophies [1]: The repeated fragment from lines 13–18 and part of 19 on page 69 should be deleted: “This work should not be constrained by traditional divisions of philosophical subject matters or traditional methodology. The multiple philosophies already exist: philosophy of information, philosophy of computation, philosophy of natural and artificial life, philosophy of natural or artificial intelligence, philosophy of complexity, philosophy of logic, etc. Certainly, the idea is not to abandon the philosophical roots and tradition but to promote development of authentically new methodologies and new foundations derived from the scientific experience and intended for enhancement of scientific inquiry. Yet another dimension of the desired diversity is in cultural differences.” The sentence directly before the deleted fragment should be moved to the preceding paragraph and extended to: “Thus, Philosophies promotes philosophical work derived from the experience of diverse scientific disciplines and at the same time invites scientific contributions informing philosophical reflection.” The original version is: Thus, Philosophies promotes philosophical work derived from the experience of diverse scientific disciplines. This work should not be constrained by traditional divisions of philosophical subject matters or traditional methodology. The multiple philosophies already exist: philosophy of information, philosophy of computation, philosophy of natural and artificial life, philosophy of natural or artificial intelligence, philosophy of complexity, philosophy of logic, etc. Certainly, the idea is not to abandon the philosophical roots and tradition but to promote development of authentically new methodologies and new foundations derived from the scientific experience and intended for enhancement of scientific inquiry. Yet another dimension of the desired diversity is in cultural differences. One of the most frequently used concepts in the contemporary general media as well as intellectual discourse is globalization. However, thus far globalization is bringing not much new in quality, but rather intensity … The corrected version is: Thus, Philosophies promotes philosophical work derived from the experience of diverse scientific disciplines and at the same time invites scientific contributions informing philosophical reflection. One of the most frequently used concepts in the contemporary general media as well as intellectual discourse is globalization … The author would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused to the readers by these changes.
