Bridging complexity and post-structuralisminsights and implications /[electronic resource] :by Minka Woermann. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2016. - xi, 205 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

From the Contents: A philosophical approach to complexity -- Complexity and her roots -- Scientific v. philosophical complexity -- Principles of philosophical complexity -- Philosophical complexity and the status of ontology, epistemology, and ethics -- Philosophical complexity and the question of ethics -- The ethics of complexity and the complexity of ethics.

This work addresses the topic of philosophical complexity, which shares certain assumptions with scientific complexity, cybernetics, and General Systems Theory, but which is also developing as a subject field in its own right. Specifically, the post-structural reading of philosophical complexity that was pioneered by Paul Cilliers is further developed in this study. To this end, the ideas of a number of contemporary French post-structural theorists and their predecessors - including Derrida, Nancy, Bataille, Levinas, Foucault, Saussure, Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Hegel - are introduced. The implications that their various insights hold for our understanding of complex human systems are teased out at the hand of the themes of economy, (social) ontology, subjectivity, epistemology, and ethics. The analyses are also illuminated at the hand of the problematic of the foreigner and the related challenges of showing hospitality to foreigners. The study presents a sophisticated account of both philosophical complexity and philosophies of difference. By relating these subject fields, the study also extends our understanding of philosophical complexity, and offers an original characterisation of the aforementioned philosophers as complex thinkers.
