Evolutionary systems

"To understand how complex dynamical systems, living or non-living, linguistic or non-linguistic, come to be organized as systems, to understand how their inherent dynamic nature gives rise to organizations and forms that have found a balance between potentiality for change and evolution on the one hand, and requisite stability in a given environment on the other, is the main ambition of Evolotionary Systems."--Jacket. "The aim of the present volume is to elucidate the scientific and philosophical backgrounds that play a role in one of the major debates taking place in that field, namely that on the relation between selection and self-organization. This volume will be of interest to biologists, philosophers of science, systems scientists, mathematicians, physicists, and sociologists of science."--Jacket.
