What enables individually simple insects like ants to act with such precision and purpose as a group? How do trillions of neurons produce something as extraordinarily complex as consciousness? In this remarkably clear and companionable book, leading complex systems scientist Melanie Mitchell provides an intimate tour of the sciences of complexity, a broad set of efforts that seek to explain how large-scale complex, organized, and adaptive behavior can emerge from simple interactions among myriad individuals. Based on her work at the Santa Fe Institute and drawing on its interdisciplinary strategies, Mitchell brings clarity to the workings of complexity across a broad range of biological, technological, and social phenomena, seeking out the general principles or laws that apply to all of them. Richly illustrated, Complexity: A Guided Tour-winner of the 2010 Phi Beta Kappa Book Award in Science-offers a wide-ranging overview of the ideas underlying complex systems science, the current research at the forefront of this field, and the prospects for its contribution to solving some of the most important scientific questions of our time.
之前被经济学理论骗了几年,然后又被哲学的后现代主义骗了几年,接下来是演化心理学和演化生物学,于是为了谨防自己再次受骗,学习复杂性理论过程中,时刻提醒自己:谨防再次上当。 有些人看了个《三体》就觉得“三体问题”是解决所有问题的钥匙(其实不过是复杂性系统的一支)...

评分Conceptual overview
评分內容挺廣泛的,介紹瞭復雜性存在的各種領域,生物、計算機、網絡科學等等。有一點不滿意的地方是作者刻意追求科普性,書中很多能夠用簡單公式描述的地方都被描述性語言代替瞭。的確,這樣不會冒著用公式嚇退讀者的危險,但是作者也體會不到數學的簡潔性瞭。
评分Conceptual overview
评分Complexity is not well-defined. It's perspectives. It's waiting for someone who can look through these perspectives in a more profound way to integrate them into a new understanding of the world, just like Newton did with calculus.
