This book provides an overview of recent developments of complexity
theory within the realm of social sciences. At a time when global
and local social, political, cultural, and economic affairs are
engulfed in chaos, this book sheds light on the mechanisms of
uncertainties, offering new visions and frameworks for analyzing
the nonlinear interactions between individuals, societies, and the
environment. From exploring the foundational elements that shape
our understanding of humanity, such as worldviews, justice, and
trust, to applying complexity theory in the realms of politics,
economics, management, strategies, and wars, this monograph
provides a comprehensive examination of its far-reaching
implications. By examining historical bifurcations and structural
changes in American history and China's modern development, it
emphasizes how complexity theory can serve as a bridge for
intellectual and cultural communication between Western (Newtonian)
and East Asian (yin-yang-based) civilizations. Moreover, the book
elucidates that nonlinear phenomena, including bifurcations,
catastrophes, structural changes, emergence of structures, and
chaos, are integral aspects of human evolution. It unveils the
positive potential within chaos, demonstrating that a comprehensive
understanding of catastrophic mechanisms enables humanity to
prevent global disasters by leading systems to chaotic attractors
without destructive consequences. Through an exploration of the
intricate interdependencies among individuals, societies, and the
environment, this book offers a unique and comprehensive
introduction to the application of complexity theory to the realm
of humanity.
