A great deal of the success of science has rested on its specific
methods. One of which has been to start with the study of simple
phenomena such as that of falling bodies, or to decompose systems
into parts with well-defined properties simpler than those of the
total system. In our time there is a growing awareness that in many
cases of great practical or scientific interest, such as economics
or the hu man brain, we have to deal with truly complex systems
which cannot be decomposed into their parts without losing crucial
properties of the total system. In addi tion, complex systems have
many facets and can be looked at from many points of view. Whenever
a complicated problem arises, some scientists or other people are
ready to invent lots of beautiful words, or to quote Goethe "denn
immer wo Begriffe feh len, dort stellt ein Wort zur rechten Zeit
sich ein" ("whenever concepts are lack king, a word appears at the
right time"). Quite often such a procedure gives not only the
layman but also scientists working in fields different from that of
the in ventor of these new words the impression that this problem
has been solved, and I am occasionally shocked to see how
influential this kind of "linguistics" has become.
