It represents the cutting edge of current thinking which challenges the natural/social dichotomy thesis by showing how the application of ideas which derive from biology can be applied and offer insight into the social realm. This is done by introducing the general system theory to the methodological debate on the relation of human and natural sciences. 410 0$aRoutledge frontiers of political economy ;$v2. 606 $aSocial evolution 606 $aEvolution (Biology) 606 $aSocial sciences$xPhilosophy 615 0$aSocial evolution. 615 0$aEvolution (Biology) 615 0$aSocial sciences$xPhilosophy. 676 $a303.4 701 $aKhalil$b Elias L.$f1957-$0240704 701 $aBoulding$b Kenneth E$g(Kenneth Ewart),$f1910-1993.$0291145 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910953165903321 996 $aEvolution, order, and complexity$94338403 997 $aUNINA
