John Smith, Chris Jenks.
Qualitative Complexity: ecology, cognitive processes and the re-emergence of structure in post-humanist social theory.
Routledge. 2006
Offering a critique of the humanist paradigm in contemporary social theory,
Qualitative Complexity is the first comprehensive sociological analysis of complexity theory.
Drawing from sources in sociology, philosophy, complexity theory, ‘fuzzy logic’,
systems theory, cognitive science and evolutionary biology,
John Smith and Chris Jenks present a new series of interdisciplinary perspectives
on the sociology of complex, self-organizing structures.
