A Disquisition on Natural Systems

Much of contemporary philosophy only focuses on one specific aspect of a philosophical problem. A Disquisition on Natural Systems takes a more systematic approach to the fundamental problems of philosophy. It examines the foundations of language, logic, mathematics, science, values and social systems in an integrated manner. By incorporating mereology, many-sorted logic, interactive computing, chaos theory, abduction, coinduction and systems analysis into the philosopher’s toolkit, this book offers solutions for many philosophical issues and proposes an approach to dealing with complex, interactive systems in contemporary society.
