EOI.  Discussion Note 20

KM = Kirsti Määttänen

Auke, Kirsti, Lists, ...

I am pre-occupied at the moment with other issues,
but I want to flag the following paragraph for
possible future discussion:

KM: The inertia in change is not so much because "the findings are not yet conclusive",
    which is usually offered as the reason why.  The real issue is about habit change,
    both personal and institutional.  For a shift to be paradigmatic, it necessarily
    involves changes in habits of thinking and acting.  This is especially where I
    feel that Peircean philosophy of science may have enormous human significance.
    But, in order for that to happen, there should be real interdisciplinary
    dialogue.  Is there, really?

Many Regards,

Jon Awbrey
