Del Re. 330 $aComplexity has become a central topic in certain sectors of theoretical physics and chemistry (for example, in connection with nonlinearity and deterministic chaos). Also, mathematical measurements of complexity and formal characterizations of this notion have been proposed. The question of how complex systems can show properties that are different from those of their constituent parts has nurtured philosophical debates about emergence and reductionism, which are particularly important in the study of the relationship between physics, chemistry, biology and psychology. This book offers a good presentation of those topics through a truly interdisciplinary approach in which the philosophy of science and the specialized topics of certain sciences are put in a dialogue. 606 $aComplexity (Philosophy)$vCongresses 606 $aScience$xPhilosophy$vCongresses 615 0$aComplexity (Philosophy) 615 0$aScience$xPhilosophy 676 $a501 701 $aAgazzi$b Evandro$09620 701 $aMontecucco$b Luisa$0253820 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817243503321 996 $aComplexity and emergence$93966642 997 $aUNINA
