Paradoxes of Complexity: Philosophical and Scientific Discourse Analysis of the Concept of Order & Epistemologies of Uncertainty.
From the perspectives of the history of science, philosophy, and epistemology, I examine the double discourse paradox that underlies complexity science and complexity theories. 1 - the emergence of orders from unstable and critical processes, and 2 - uncertainty as a source of knowledge. My research is dedicated to a philosophical investigation of the ontological and epistemological paradoxes inherent in complexity. This inquiry unfolds in two phases. First, through a critical discourse analysis of the notion of order and disorder - entropy and neg-entropy - in complex systems, and second, by examining uncertainty as the epistemic foundation of complexity science. I am currently working on my habilitation thesis 'An Epistemology of Complexity: Irreversibility, Contingency and Uncertainty'.
