Bridging Complexity and Post-Structuralism: Insights and Implications

Bridging Complexity and Post-Structuralism: Insights and Implications by Minka Woermann is a study of philosophical complexity, a field that shares certain assumptions with scientific complexity, cybernetics and General Systems Theory but is also developing as a subject in its own right. Springer published this 205-page hardcover in 2016.

The study further develops the post-structural reading of philosophical complexity pioneered by Paul Cilliers. It introduces ideas from French post-structural theorists and their predecessors, including Derrida, Levinas, Foucault and Heidegger, and draws out their implications for complex human systems through themes such as economy, subjectivity, epistemology and ethics. The analyses also take up the problem of the foreigner and of showing hospitality to foreigners.
