Abstract:

This book looks beyond the limit of certainty which has long been
taken as a defining characteristic of science. Beyond certainty lies
complexity. How can complexity be addressed in the framework of
science? What can science of complexity mean? The first and basic
principle is that we recognize that it is not the method which
determines the object but vice versa. We have to start from the object
of complexity and derive methodology from it. This basic principle
determines New Science. Rules of predefined systems become principles
of probability which comprehend the whole of the object by
integration: human beings as dialogic individuals in the stream of
life. Starting from the mind of human beings, these principles unite
the range of different disciplines, from science to philosophy, and
aim to achieve the unity of science. Insights from natural sciences
represent the verifying basis, results from human sciences demonstrate
how the basis of sociobiology is shaped in human action and behaviour
in a world of non-equilibrium. Philosophy can finally give guidance to
a humane way of life.
