This is the first work to apply complex systems science to the psychological interplay of order and chaos. The author draws on thought from a wide range of disciplines-both conventional and unorthodox-to address such questions as the nature of consciousness, the relation between mind and reality, and the justification of belief systems. The material should provoke thought among systems scientists, theoretical psychologists, artificial intelligence researchers, and philosophers.

A Rare Gem,
By "gumby32" (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chaotic Logic: Language, Thought, and Reality from the Perspective of Complex Systems Science (IFSR International Series on Systems Science and Engineering) (Hardcover)
This book audaciously puts forth an "equation of mind" in the first chapter, and from there goes on to derive language, thought, and reality... and it succeeds! My only complaint is that the author sometimes resorts to formalism and math where it doesn't seem to add anything to understanding of a point. But the technical sections are clearly marked, and you can usually "hum along" without being distracted by the details. This ambitious book is a good read and highly recommended.
