The Complex Nonlinear Thinking: Edgar Morin’s Demand of a Reform of Thinking and the Contribution of Synergetics
World Futures: Journal of General Evolution. 2004. Vol. 60. No. 5/6. P. 389–405.
Main principles of the complex nonlinear thinking which are based on the notions of the modern theory of evolution and self-organization of complex systems called also synergetics are under discussion in the article. The principles are transdisciplinary, holistic,and oriented to a human being. The notions of system complexity, nonlinearity of
evolution, creative chaos, space-time definiteness of structure-attractors of evolution,resonant influences, nonlinear and soft management are here of great importance. In thisconnection, a prominent contribution made to system analysis and to a necessary reform
of education and thinking by Edgar Morin is considered.

This article addresses the epistemological transformations of knowledge about the Other under platform culture. It examines the shift from the communicative experience of presence to a data regime in which otherness is constituted through predictive classification and interface routing. The platform is conceptualized as a system that presents the subject with an already-categorized Other, thereby ...

Теодор Лессинг (1872–1933) — один из самых пессимистичных философов первой половины XX века. Последователь Фридриха Ницше и Артура Шопенгауэра, он пророчил неизбежную гибель западной цивилизации от себя самой. В своём сочинении «Про́клятая культура», написанном на основе речи, читанной в Обществе друзей индийской мудрости в 1921 году, он с особой экспрессией изложил основные положения своего мировоззрения, ...

Dezi A., Sesto San Giovanni: Mimesis, 2026.
This book is a metaphysical inquiry into the nature and origin of the manifold. Taking Schelling’s Erlangen lectures of 1820–1821 as its point of departure and hermeneutic horizon, it develops an interpretation of Nomos that transcends its political, juridical, and social determinations. Nomos thereby emerges as the ontological principle of an infinite, variegated multiplicity of ...

This article analyzes the creative personality and thinking style of Vladimir Ivanovich Arshinov, as well as his distinctive contribution to the philosophy of science – the concept of complexity as an observer embedded in the complexity of the world. Arshinov conceptualized complexity as a key characteristic of self-organizing systems within the context of post-non-classical science ...

Clarity of knowledge and reasoning is necessary in many cases. Yet vagueness in scientific thinking related to surprise, curiosity, "ability to engage with not-knowing" (de Freitas) and abductive reasoning is also a crucially important source of scientific creativity which supplements combinatorial logic when dealing with the already known. Starting from studies by C. S. Peirce ...

The class of all ∗-continuous Kleene algebras, whose description includes an infinitary condition on the iteration operator, plays an important role in computer science. The complexity of reasoning in such algebras — ranging from the equational theory to the Horn one, with restricted fragments of the latter in between — was analyzed by Kozen (2002). This ...

We show that, in terms of closure ordinals, many infinitary calculi for ‘first-order’ logics of probability (i.e., for languages similar to those in [Abadi & Halpern 1994]) are as hard as possible: the corresponding closure ordinals coincide with the least non-constructive ordinal, denoted by $\omega_1^{\mathrm{CK}}$. ...
