This book focuses on the successes and difficulties of nonlinear studies, particularly in the areas of mind sciences. It attempts to answer such questions as: is an interdisciplinary contamination of complexity studies in different disciplines useful?; does this contamination originate in a transdisciplinary toolbox of methods and models which is worth calling it "Nonlinear science"?; and what are the relations between the metaphoric approach and the mathematical approach in natural sciences and humanities?

4.0 out of 5 stars
critical approach to nonlinear psychosocial dynamics,
By Joseph P. Zbilut (jzbilut@rush.edu) (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Complex Matters of the Mind (Hardcover)
This book is the result of a conference which originally dealt with "chaos" themes, but subsequently distilled into nonlinear sciences and complexity as they relate to "Mind Sciences." A significant contribution of this book is its critical approach to the use of what are now commonplace tools of nonlinear science. A wide range of topics are addressed, including biology, psychology, linguistics, anthropology and psychiatry. The choices emphasize that the use of such tools are only a beginning for a dialogue based on the recognition that traditional Newtonian paradigms have limits in this area.
