Notes on complexity : a scientific theory of connection, consciousness, and being / Neil Theise. by Theise, Neil, author. New York : Spiegel & Grau, [2023] Subjects Complexity (Philosophy)   Consciousness.   Science -- Psychological aspects.   Ontology. ISBN:  9781954118256 (hardback) 1954118252 (hardback) Description:  xv, 205 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm Edition:  First edition Requests:  1 Summary:  "An electrifying introduction to complexity theory, the science of how complex systems behave--from cells to human beings, ecosystems, the known universe, and beyond--that profoundly reframes our understanding and illuminates our interconnectedness. Nothing in the universe is more complex than life. Throughout the skies, in oceans, and across lands, life is endlessly on the move. In its myriad forms--from cells to human beings, social structures, and ecosystems--life is open-ended, evolving, unpredictable, yet adaptive and self-sustaining. Complexity theory addresses the mysteries that animate science, philosophy, and metaphysics: how this teeming array of existence, from the infinitesimal to the infinite, is in fact a seamless living whole and what our place, as conscious beings, is within it. Physician, scientist, and philosopher Neil Theise makes accessible this "theory of being," one of the pillars of modern science, and its holistic view of human existence. He notes the surprising underlying connections within a universe that is itself one vast complex system--between ant colonies and the growth of forests, cancer and economic bubbles, murmurations of starlings and crowds walking down the street. The implications of complexity theory are profound, providing insight into everything from the permeable boundaries of our bodies to the nature of consciousness. Notes on Complexity is an invitation to trade our limited, individualistic view for the expansive perspective of a universe that is dynamic, cohesive, and alive--a whole greater than the sum of its parts. Theise takes us to the exhilarating frontiers of human knowledge and in the process restores wonder and meaning to our experience of the everyday"--Publisher's website.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Wailuku Public Library Adult Nonfiction 501 Th Checked out 06/08/2024 Add Copy to MyList
