Return-Path: Delivered-To: andy@mira.net From: JulioHuato Date: Sat, 20 Dec 1997 10:15:24 EST To: andy@mira.net Subject: Re: Complexity, Mathematics and Dialectics Organization: AOL (http://www.aol.com) Andy, I believe that you have drawn the proper conclusions from complexity. And the way you present them is very clear. I must admit that your reading of these simulations as EXERCISES IN LOGIC (setting the limits of formal logic) was entirely unexpected to me. But since you first expressed it, I became convinced that this was indeed their main (rational) result. As to your text, I have marked a few corrections to likely typos (in brackets). I understand that the focus of your site and list is, and should be, Hegel. The generality of the Logic makes it impossible to avoid being thrown in every direction. People approach Hegel from all angles, and my angle is still economic theory. You may wish to split the list according to individual interests, etc. In any case, I guess I should try to develop a web site dedicated to the critique of modern economic theory. In a sense, if it takes off, it will be an offspring of your site. J. PS: A friend of mine gave me a book on the saga of Fermat's Enigma. I read it in a few hours, nonstop. I'm sure you have thousands of readings waiting in line, but if you get interested, I can ship it to you. ------------- <>
