Cilliers offers us a unique approach to understanding complexity and computational theory by integrating postmodern theory (like that of Derrida and Lyotard) into his discussion. Complexity and Postmodernism is an exciting and an original book that should be read by anyone interested in gaining a fresh understanding of complexity, postmodernism and connectionism.Complexity (Philosophy)Computational complexityPostmodernismComplexity (Philosophy)Computational complexity.Postmodernism.117Cilliers Paul1956-2011.1663950MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910973522703321Complexity and postmodernism4498867UNINA
