Using the law of thermodynamics, this text examines the consequences of non-linear dynamics (or chaos theory) for philosophy and science - making a case for the concept of complexity that transcends conventional boundaries of scientific discourse and exposes the risks of scientific theories.
Using the law of thermodynamics, Stengers sets out to explain the consequences of non-linear dynamics (or chaos theory) for philosophy and science. The author makes a case for the concept of complexity that transcends the conventional boundaries of scientific discourse and that clearly exposes the risks of scientific theories.
