The Increase of complexity and its reduction: Emergent interfaces between the natural science, humanities and social sciences

Article Abstract:

The increase comes through evolution defined as transmission of information from the desire of a human-built world and reduction of complexity is the necessity of minimizing unwanted and unintended consequences of its increase, partly due to the continued re-alignment between social systems and environments. The study of the co-evolution between science and society offers itself as a strategic research site by focusing on the dynamic interplay between the increase of complexity and its reduction.

Panic ecology: nature in the age of superconductivity

Article Abstract:

Genetic engineering is the latest expression of the desire to control environment, but Ulrich Beck would see this as the culmination of human arrogance and Jean Baudrillard would treat these efforts as a compulsive desire to overachieve. Panic ecology can be described as nature being forced to the edge of a nervous breakthrough, and social theory has not yet developed to the point where it can account for the destruction, much less the resurrection, of nature.

Ex-orbitant globality

Article Abstract:

The theories about the dynamical characteristics of the solar system, galaxy and universe, develops the ideas of an ex-orbitant globality that treats the earth as a system in active and ongoing interchange with its cosmic environment. The openness to the cosmos to further other-than-human influences has repercussions for the way it is responded to environmental change injecting an element of abyssal undecidability into all deliberations.
