Self-organization and social science
Complexity science and its methodological applications have increased in popularity in social science during the last two decades. One key concept within complexity science is that of self-organization. Self-organization is used to refer to the emergence of stable patterns through autonomous and self-reinforcing dynamics at the micro-level. In spite of its potential relevance for the study of s...
متن کاملThe Science of Self-Organization and Adaptivity
The theory of self-organization and adaptivity has grown out of a variety of disciplines, including thermodynamics, cybernetics and computer modelling. The present article reviews its most important concepts and principles. It starts with an intuitive overview, illustrated by the examples of magnetization and Bénard convection, and concludes with the basics of mathematical modelling. Self-organ...
متن کاملThe Frontiers of Science and Self-organization
In the first part of the paper it is shown that both the quantum physics and the science of mind and consciousness are going together toward a unique frontier of science, the sructuralphenomenological frontier. The problem of the phenomenological information unifies the two frontiers of the quantum world and of consciousness into one. Still, this frontier might be not the ultimate frontier of k...
متن کاملEmergence, self-organization and developmental science.
Our understanding is that psychology is a biopsychosocial science as well as a developmental science. Behavioral origins stem from ontogenetic processes, behavioral as well as biological. Biological factors are simply participating factors in behavioral origins and not causal factors. Psychology is not a biological science; it is a unique psychological science, a natural science consistent and ...
متن کاملSelf-organization in social insects.
Self-organization was introduced originally in the context of physics and chemistry to describe how microscopic processes give rise to macroscopic stuctures in out-of-equilibrium systems, Recent research that extends this concept to ethology suggests that it provides a concise description of a wide range of collective phenomena in animals, especially in social insects. This description does not...
