Complex Philosophy | Carlos Gershenson

1 Sep 2001 | Subject: | Adaptation and Self-Organizing Systems; Computational Complexity | nlin.AO cs.CC | Abstract: | We present several philosophical ideas emerging from the studies of complex systems. We make a brief introduction to the basic concepts of complex systems, for then defining "abstraction levels". These are useful for representing regularities in nature. We define absolute being (observer independent, infinite) and relative being (observer dependent, finite), and notice the differences between them. We draw issues on relative causality and absolute causality among abstraction levels. We also make reflections on determinism. We reject the search for any absolute truth (because of their infinity), and promote the idea that all comprehensible truths are relative, since they were created in finite contexts. This leads us to suggest to search the less-incompleteness of ideas and contexts instead of their truths. | Source: | arXiv, nlin.AO/0109001 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
