The book introduces students of humanities to synergetics (theory of auto-organization). The narration is vivid and artistic, introducing the reader to the problems studied by this “new science” subjected to heated debates. Mathematical and natural-science principles of synergetics are exposed in a comprehensive way, even to someone with a very basic knowledge of mathematics. The author mainly focuses on application of synergetic ideas to social sciences and history. His special concern is about the perspective of the “new science” and how it can help to forecast the future.
The book is meant for students of humanities and all those who are interested in modern philosophy, social and historical disciplines.
