*Emergence, Complexity, and Self-Organization* have become vital focuses of
interest not only in the fields of science and philosophy but also in the
wider worlds of business and politics. This book presents a series of essays
by thinkers who anticipated the significance of those issues and laid the
foundations for their current importance. Readers of this book will
encounter the important and varied figures of Immanuel Kant, John Stuart
Mill, Charles Saunders Peirce, Henry Poincar?, Henri Bergson, Alfred North
Whitehead, and the British "Emergentists" Samuel Alexander, C. Lloyd Morgan,
and C. D. Broad. They will also find essays by the South African thinker and
statesman Jan Smuts, the American philosopher Arthur Lovejoy, the eminent
physicist Erwin Schr?dinger, two more recent thinkers on emergence, P. E.
Meehl and Wilfred Sellars, and Ludwig von Bertalanffy, one of the founders
of General Systems Theory.

In their detailed and comprehensive introduction to the collection, editors
Alicia Juarrero and Carl A. Rubino set the essays in contexts stretching
from Heraclitus, Parmenides, Plato, Aristotle, and Hegel to some of the
religious, scientific, and philosophical challenges we face today.

E:CO does a great job of keeping the historical papers in circulation and
maintaining a good flow of creative papers that apply to management in some
way.    I?m not sure if the two major strains will converge or diverge
though.   That keeps happening with all the strains of systems theory,over
and over it seems
  Interesting pattern.
