From Biology to Sociopolitics: Conceptual Continuity in Complex Systems
Yale University Press (1998)
Abstract
This text explores how we understand living and other complex systems. The conventional basis of understanding rests on abstract general theories, but this book proposes conceptual continuity as a new means of comparing systems of divergent complexity and resolving problems in complex systems.Other Versions
