Thus, the effects of unknowable scales invade the world that we can observe directly. This leads to various peculiar phenomena such as chaos, critical phenomena, and complex biological phenomena, among others. Conceptual analysis and phenomenology are the keys to describe and understand phenomena that are subject to scale interference, because precise description of unfamiliar phenomena requires precise concepts and their phenomenological description. The book starts with an illustration of conceptual analysis in terms of chaos and randomness, and goes on to explain renormalization group philosophy as an approach to phenomenology. Then, abduction is outlined as a way to express what we have understood about the world. The book concludes with discussions on how we can approach genuinely complex phenomena, including biological phenomena. The main target of this volume is young people who have just started to appreciate the world seriously. The author also wishes the book to be helpful to those who have been observing the world, but who wish to appreciate it afresh from a different angle. 410 0$aSpringer series in synergetics ;$vv. 10. 606 $aPhenomenological biology 606 $aNonlinear theories 606 $aSynergetics 615 0$aPhenomenological biology. 615 0$aNonlinear theories. 615 0$aSynergetics. 676 $a570.1 700 $aOono$b Yoshitsugu$0906923 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438113403321 996 $aThe Nonlinear World$92028773 997 $aUNINA
