Specifically, the post-structural reading of philosophical complexity that was pioneered by Paul Cilliers is further developed in this study. To this end, the ideas of a number of contemporary French post-structural theorists and their predecessors - including Derrida, Nancy, Bataille, Levinas, Foucault, Saussure, Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Hegel - are introduced. The implications that their various insights hold for our understanding of complex human systems are teased out at the hand of the themes of economy, (social) ontology, subjectivity, epistemology, and ethics. The analyses are also illuminated at the hand of the problematic of the foreigner and the related challenges of showing hospitality to foreigners. The study presents a sophisticated account of both philosophical complexity and philosophies of difference. By relating these subject fields, the study also extends our understanding of philosophical complexity, and offers an original characterisation of the aforementioned philosophers as complex thinkers.EthicsPhysicsPhilosophy and social sciencesEthicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E14000Applications of Graph Theory and Complex Networkshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P33010Philosophy of the Social Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E36000Ethics.Physics.Philosophy and social sciences.Ethics.Applications of Graph Theory and Complex Networks.Philosophy of the Social Sciences.170Woermann Minkaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1058587BOOK9910255351203321Bridging Complexity and Post-Structuralism2500702UNINA
