Evolution, Order and Complexity reflects topical interest in the
relationship between the social and natural worlds. It represents
the cutting edge of current thinking which challenges the
natural/social dichotomy thesis by showing how the application of
ideas which derive from biology can be applied and offer insight
into the social realm. This is done by introducing the general
system theory to the methodological debate on the relation of human
and natural sciences.
This book brings together, for the first time, philosophers of
pragmatism and economists interested in methodological questions.
The main theoretical thrust of Dewey is to unite inquiry with
behavior and this book's contributions assess this insight in the
light of developments in modern American philosophy, social and
legal theories, and the theoretical orientation of economics. This
unique book contains impressive contributions from a range of
different perspectives and its unique nature will make it required
reading for academics involved with philosophy and economics.
The writings of the American philosopher John Dewey contend
systematically with metaphysics, epistemology, logic, philosophy
education, aesthetics, social problems, and public policy. Given
the recent revival of Dewey's legacy, it is surprising that the
ramifications of his thought have not been explored in relation to
economic theory and the philosophy of economics. This book brings
