Emergence, Complexity, and Self-Organization have become vital
focuses of interest not only in the fields of science and
philosophy but also in the wider worlds of business and politics.
This book presents a series of essays by thinkers who anticipated
the significance of those issues and laid the foundations for their
current importance. Readers of this book will encounter the
important and varied figures of Immanuel Kant, John Stuart Mill,
Charles Saunders Peirce, Henry Poincare, Henri Bergson, Alfred
North Whitehead, and the British "Emergentists" Samuel Alexander,
C. Lloyd Morgan, and C. D. Broad. They will also find essays by the
South African thinker and statesman Jan Smuts, the American
philosopher Arthur Lovejoy, the eminent physicist Erwin
Schrodinger, two more recent thinkers on emergence, P. E. Meehl and
Wilfred Sellars, and Ludwig von Bertalanffy, one of the founders of
General Systems Theory. In their detailed and comprehensive
introduction to the collection, editors Alicia Juarrero and Carl A.
Rubino set the essays in contexts stretching from Heraclitus,
Parmenides, Plato, Aristotle, and Hegel to some of the religious,
scientific, and philosophical challenges we face today.
