Over the past thirty years, a new systemic conception of life has
emerged at the forefront of science. New emphasis has been given to
complexity, networks, and patterns of organisation, leading to a
novel kind of 'systemic' thinking. This volume integrates the
ideas, models, and theories underlying the systems view of life
into a single coherent framework. Taking a broad sweep through
history and across scientific disciplines, the authors examine the
appearance of key concepts such as autopoiesis, dissipative
structures, social networks, and a systemic understanding of
evolution. The implications of the systems view of life for health
care, management, and our global ecological and economic crises are
also discussed. Written primarily for undergraduates, it is also
essential reading for graduate students and researchers interested
in understanding the new systemic conception of life and its
implications for a broad range of professions - from economics and
politics to medicine, psychology and law.
