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. 410 0$aCategories (Frankfurt am Main, Germany) ;$vVolume 6. 606 $aComplexity (Philosophy) 610 $aJacques Derrida. 610 $acomplexity. 610 $aethics. 610 $alimits of knowledge. 615 0$aComplexity (Philosophy) 676 $a003/.7 700 $aCilliers$b Paul$f1956-2011,$01663950 702 $aPreiser$b Rika 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812485603321 996 $aCritical complexity$94021652 997 $aUNINA
