CONTENTS; Introduction Carlos Gershenson, Diederik Aerts and Bruce Edmonds; References; Restricted Complexity, General Complexity Edgar Morin; 1. The three principles of the rejection of complexity by 'classical science'; 2. Complexity: A first breach: irreversibility; 3. Interaction Order/Disorder/Organization; 4. Chaos; 5. The emergence of the notion of complexity; 6. Generalized complexity; 7. System: It should be conceived that "any system is complex"; 8. Emergence of the notion of emergence; 9. The complexity of organization; 10. The self-eco-organization
11. The relationship between local and global12. Heraclitus: "live of death, die of life"; 13. On non-trivial machines; 14. To complexify the notion of chaos; 15. The need of contextualization; 16. The hologrammatic and dialogical principles; 17. For the sciences, a certain number of consequences; 18. Two scientific revolutions introduced complexity de facto; 19. The insertion of science in History; 20. The link between science and philosophy; 21. Second epistemological rupture with restricted complexity; 22. The principle of ecology of action; 23. Creating "Institutes of fundamental culture" 24. I conclude: generalized complexity integrates restricted complexity25. We should even apprehend the possibilities of metamorphosis; Complexity Science as an Aspect of the Complexity of Science Don C. Mikulecky; 1. INTRODUCTION; 1.1. The largest Model; 1.2. Why is the whole more than the sum of its parts?; 1.3. Causality and information: Science of method and science of content; 1.4. Which is generic, physics or biology?; 1.5. Analytic vs. synthetic models; 1.6. Fragmentability; 1.7. Computability; 2. SCIENCE AS A COMPLEX SYSTEM; 3. COMPLEXITY AS AN ATTRIBUTE OF NATURE 3.1. Hard Science is built on Cartesian Reductionism3.2. The Newtonian paradigm is the modern manifestation of hard science; 3.3. Complexity is the result of the failure of the Newtonian Paradigm to be generic; 3.4. The way science is done: The modeling relation; 3.5. Complex systems and simple systems are disjoint categories that are related by the modeling relation; 4. THERMODYNAMIC REASONING AS A TRANSITION TO COMPLEXITY SCIENCE; 4.1. Classical or ""equilibrium" thermodynamics and its limits; 4.2. Dissipation, friction, and irreversibility 4.3. Preserving the paradigm involved considering friction, irreversibility and dissipation4.4. Framing the question in science:" Don't think about the whole system"; 4.5. Reductionism needs a particular kind of mathematics to accomplish its goals; 4.6. Topological reasoning in thermodynamics leads to powerful results; 5. Will science extend to the modeling of complex reality or will it be restricted to the limited domain of the largest model formalism it clings to?; References; On the Importance of a Certain Slowness Paul Cilliers; 1. Introduction; 2. Living in the Present 3. Complex Systems, Temporality and Memory |
