Whoever wishes to publish his own study must, beforehand, make contact with noosfera27@alice.it or giovannifois2003@libero.it
Please keep in mind our desire to construct a means of exchanging ideas where differences of opinion now exist. The picture reproduced below of the damaged footbridge in Mostar is a powerful symbol of our goal.

  • It is not a question of making all cultures identical, but to promote common values and to humanize, in the end, this world which is only partially humanized.

  • This site contains writings which are in harmony with such outlooks and hopes.  For example, some of the themes that would eventually be discussed include: risks of survival of the biosphere; scientific and philosophical controversies on fundamental questions; difficulty in the rapport between science and faith; bioethical problems, and dangers to peace.

  • Whenever a theme may be of interest for the site, the author is invited to transmit the complete article. However, the editorship is not obligated to publish it (for whatever reason deemed appropriate). Some examples for rejection could be: use of terms with excessively specialized meanings; violation of ethical norms; disrespect for religious symbols.  In the event the study would be rejected, the editorship is not required to explain the reason for doing so.

  • The studies will be published in their original language.

  • Texts sent by email must be in the Word RTF or PDF format.  They will appear on site in the PDF format.

  • All footnotes must be listed at the bottom of each page and any bibliography must be posted at the end of the writing.

  • If the article has been previously published in other media, the author must reveal this fact at the bottom of the page.  In such cases, it is the author’s exclusive responsibility to request and receive proper authorization from the legal authority in order for the article to be included in this site.

  • The text will be preceded by a summary in both Italian and English. This will be done by the editorship in those cases not already provided by the author.

  • All rights to the published texts remain the property of the author who may republish them in other media provided the present site is mentioned.

  • The author, if he wishes, can indicate his own qualification at the bottom of the first page
