Being one of few authors who approached the study of complexity from a philosophical perspective, the main themes in these papers explore:- Qualitative characterization of complexity and the normative implications of studying complex adaptive systems,- the philosophical and conceptual similarity to post-structural approaches- how any engagement with complexity leads to a critical engagement with how we do science and design interventions- critical and normative implications for how to engage with complex socio-political concerns in the world. What makes this book unique is that it consolidates a body of work that is distributed over a wide range of academic journals. Although his book "Complexity and Postmodernism" (Routledge, 1998) remains a cornerstone in the field of complexity studies, Cilliers’ journal essays really explore the application of the theoretical concepts in more depth. His ground-breaking ideas conceptualized in these essays have served as a continual source of novelty and inspiration in the process of applying complexity thinking to other fields of study.Categories (Frankfurt am Main, Germany) ;Volume 6.Complexity (Philosophy)Jacques Derrida.complexity.ethics.limits of knowledge.Complexity (Philosophy)003/.7Cilliers Paul1956-2011,1513336Preiser RikaMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910798024803321Critical complexity3747742UNINA02444oam 22006135 450 991079855780332120230126215600.01-4648-0895-310.1596/978-1-4648-0894-4(CKB)3710000000777673(EBL)4627935(OCoLC)946277645(PQKBManifestationID)16404671(PQKBWorkID)14958608(PQKB)23624657(MiAaPQ)EBC4627935(DLC) 2016016935(The World Bank)19046540(US-djbf)19046540(EXLCZ)99371000000077767320160407d2016 uy 0engurcn|||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierBeyond Ending Poverty The Dynamics of Microfinance in Bangladesh /Shahidur R.
