Originally published in 2004. Thanks to computer simulations
science is beginning to understand complex natural processes such
as the weather, earthquakes and the evolution of life. The
Significance of Complexity deals with the importance of the
sciences of complexity - for the humanities and theology. First,
three scientists explain the science of complexity and illustrate
it with concrete examples. Second, two scholars consider the
concept of complexity and possible applications of complexity
theory within the humanities, e.g. as a tool to understand the
interplay between the artist, the work of art and the user in
interactive art. Finally, three theologians ask what can be learned
from the science of complexity for a religious understanding of
humankind and the world. The Significance of Complexity is a
pioneering work exploring the import of a fascinating new branch of
science for human self-understanding. It caters for all those who
are interested in relating science to the quest for the meaning of
life.
