About the session:
Since the sixties and the seventies, the disciplines of science have been increasingly focussing on self-organisation and complexity studies. Although interdisciplinarity is one of the main characteristics of self-organisation theory, the approaches are rather scattered and a unified theory of self-organisation remains to be established. The aim of this session is to explore foundations of such a yet-to-be-developed unification. Topics to be covered in this session include: the exploration of the philosophical relationship of self-organisation theory and classical, modern and postmodern philosophy, the relationship of information and self-organisation, differences and similarities between physical, biological and social self-organisation
Contributions:
Vladimir Arshinov and Vladimir Budanov: Cognitive Foundations of Synergetics
John Collier: Why Self-Organization and Emergence are Linked
György Darvas: The Arrows of Symmetry, Entropy and Orderedness in Self-organising Systems
Bert Klauninger: An Onto-Epistemological Model of Cognition
Elohimjl: Weltanschauungen and Perspectivism Derived from Bertalanffy's Thinking May Help Humans to Self-organize their Role on Earth
Wolfgang Hofkirchner: A Unified Theory of Information (UTI) requires a Unified Theory of Self-Organization
