Abstract:

The volume draws from Charles S. Peirce's pragmatic philosophy, as well as
from diverse areas in contemporary arts and sciences, and certain facets of
Buddhist philosophy - especially regarding notions of "interconnectedness",
"self-organization", and "co-participation" of the knowing subject with her
inner world, her socio-cultural world, and her physical environment. 
"Contradictory", "complementary", and "coalescence" are also fundamental
watchwords, in addition to "entanglement".  'Contradictory', since
conflicts, clashes and inconsistencies there will always be, in spite
attempts to resolve them.  'Complementarity', since poles of opposition can
at least provisionally be resolved by mediation and moderation, however
vaguely and ambiguously, such that consonance might emerge from 
dissonance, balance from imbalance, and accord from discord.  And 
'coalescence', since the union of disparities is an ongoing, and always 
incomplete, process; it is never fixed product.  These concepts, along with 
the key word, "entanglement", place Peirce in a new light, giving rise to new 
questions and possible responses from readers who are searching for 
alternate means of understanding in our increasingly complex, rapidly 
globalizing world.
