This book offers a study of the three evolutions in a circle
(cosmos, life, and knowledge) with the aim of discussing human
social behavior, a metaphor of the general behavior of nature (from
which man derives) within the fluctuating equilibrium between the
opposite tendencies to cohesion and shredding; a circularity
revealing an indefinite and probably never conclusive run-up of
human beings to the knowledge of nature; an analysis that
demonstrates any theoretical/practical impossibility to formulate
absolute certainties, since it depicts a situation in which man
finds himself hovering between a rational way of living and the
contradictory modus operandi of mythos. All that, within a society
where the powerful communication and transportation technologies
give rise to conflicts and fragmentations, where anyone's will to
self-distinguishing is enhanced by highlighting any small
difference and obscuring any large similarity. The main difference
between this book and existing ones stems from its
interdisciplinary nature, particularly because it establishes a
close connection between three, apparently so different
disciplines-cosmology, life sciences, and sociology-compared with
respect to their increasing complexity laws, giving rise to always
more chaotic configurations.
