📄 #Complexity and #Philosophy

Francis Heylighen, Paul Cilliers, Carlos Gershenson
(Submitted on 19 Apr 2006)

📌 ABSTRACT
The science of complexity is based on a new way of thinking that stands in sharp contrast to the philosophy underlying Newtonian science, which is based on reductionism, determinism, and objective knowledge. This paper reviews the historical development of this new world view, focusing on its philosophical foundations. Determinism was challenged by quantum mechanics and chaos theory. Systems theory replaced reductionism by a scientifically based holism. Cybernetics and postmodern social science showed that knowledge is intrinsically subjective. These developments are being integrated under the header of "complexity science". Its central paradigm is the multi-agent system. Agents are intrinsically subjective and uncertain about their environment and future, but out of their local interactions, a global organization emerges. Although different philosophers, and in particular the postmodernists, have voiced similar ideas, the paradigm of complexity still needs to be fully assimilated by philosophy. This will throw a new light on old philosophical issues such as relativism, ethics and the role of the subject.

Complexity Theory and the Social Sciences: An Introduction

"The increase in social #complexity over human #history is obvious. The problem I have with a lot of work in this area, is that social complexity is so hard to define systematically."

😱 One more thing: the doctoral track.
If you are talented and your grades are excellent, you can apply to the doctoral track where your final target is not the master’s degree but a PhD; your studies are tailored towards that goal and you’ll get to spend time as intern in our research groups, with the aim of publishing the first journal article(s) of your thesis already before you get the master’s degree.

So, what are you waiting for? Apply here! The deadline is on Jan 3rd, 2020.

What is #complexity? Wiesner will provide a compact but comprehensive overview of the different ways that systems can be complex, offering an aggregate definition. She will discuss the role of complexity measures, and why complexity cannot be captured by a single number. https://t.co/nHvi800cwW
