19Parallel GoverningJournal of Applied Philosophy 7 (2): 153-158. 1990.ABSTRACT Parallel processing systems can carry out computational tasks which would be impossible to be carried out by sequential systems.

My proposal consists in applying the parallel processing principles to the state, creating …Read more

12Creativity through Lateral Thinking TechniquesProceedings of the XXIII World Congress of Philosophy 68 11-17. 2018.Creativity is an emerging field of research for philosophy.

3Arguments and their Linguistic RealizationProceedings of the XXIII World Congress of Philosophy 38 19-32. 2018.The aim of this report is to explore, collect and classify the surface characteristics of texts which contain arguments, and in particular arguments pertaining to policy. Our interest is in the automated identification of publically presented arguments, rather than in their success or failure as arguments. We are therefore not dwelling on their validity or their soundness, but on the way they are typically expressed. Of special interest to us are the policy arguments which give reasons for and a…Read more
