Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Modern knowledge, according to the contributors to this multivolume exercise (based on three symposia), is based on three questionable premises and principles: determinism, reductionism, and dualism. Each volume interrogates these three principles and seeks to find alternative and more satisfying bases for knowledge. The volumes include formal papers as well as commentaries and edited transcripts of the discussions at each symposium. The range is truly extraordinary, with papers covering everything from economics to opera, cognitive neuroscience, literary studies, mathematical modeling, and systems theory ... [the volumes] open a host of questions for scholars to ponder and suggest many enlightening lines of inquiry ... Highly recommended." -- CHOICE

Reseña del editor:

A provocative survey of interdisciplinary challenges to the concept of determinism.
