This book provides an overview of recent developments of complexity
theory within the realm of social sciences. At a time when global and
local social, political, cultural, and economic affairs are engulfed
in chaos, this book sheds light on the mechanisms of uncertainties,
offering new visions and frameworks for analyzing the nonlinear
interactions between individuals, societies, and the environment. From
exploring the foundational elements that shape our understanding of
humanity, such as worldviews, justice, and trust, to applying
complexity theory in the realms of politics, economics, management,
strategies, and wars, this monograph provides a comprehensive
examination of its far-reaching implications. By examining historical
bifurcations and structural changes in American history and China's
modern development, it emphasizes how complexity theory can serve as a
bridge for intellectual and cultural communication between Western
(Newtonian) and East Asian (yin-yang-based) civilizations. Moreover,
the book elucidates that nonlinear phenomena, including bifurcations,
catastrophes, structural changes, emergence of structures, and chaos,
are integral aspects of human evolution. It unveils the positive
potential within chaos, demonstrating that a comprehensive
understanding of catastrophic mechanisms enables humanity to prevent
global disasters by leading systems to chaotic attractors without
destructive consequences. Through an exploration of the intricate
interdependencies among individuals, societies, and the environment,
this book offers a unique and comprehensive introduction to the
application of complexity theory to the realm of humanity.
