Komplexität – System – Evolution

Complexity challenges science and society. In their different approaches to research, sciences address systems and processes that are not yet adequately (or sufficiently) recognized if we reduce them to their individual components and disregard their interaction. The course of many processes is neither predictable nor can they be reliably controlled. In shape of Globalisation, digitalisation and an increasing interdependence of different social and political systems, society is also facing an increase in complexity. Starting from an integrative definition of complex systems, the volume brings together different perspectives from the life sciences, the humanities and the nature sciences, in order to gain a better understanding of complexity, also as a basis for dealing with it.
