摘要: Complex systems are becoming the focus of important innovative research and application in many areas, reflecting progressive displacement classical physics emergence a new creative role for mathematics. This article makes distinction between ordinary emergent complexity argues that full analysis requires dialectical thinking. In so doing authors aim to provide philosophical foundation post-normal science. The exploratory developed here is complementary those conducted with more formal, mathematical approach, begins articulate what lies on other side somewhat indistinct divide, conceptual space called complexity.
