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. 606 $aEthics 606 $aPhysics 606 $aPhilosophy and social sciences 606 $aEthics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E14000 606 $aApplications of Graph Theory and Complex Networks$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P33010 606 $aPhilosophy of the Social Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E36000 615 0$aEthics. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aPhilosophy and social sciences. 615 14$aEthics. 615 24$aApplications of Graph Theory and Complex Networks. 615 24$aPhilosophy of the Social Sciences. 676 $a170 700 $aWoermann$b Minka$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01058587 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255351203321 996 $aBridging Complexity and Post-Structuralism$92500702 997 $aUNINA
