Abstract

[From the Introduction]. What is Complexity theory? How and when did it emerge? Is it a hot new academic fad like globalisation or the end of history, or is it something more profound? To begin to answer these questions we need to jump back a few centuries and briefly discuss the emergence of what is variously labelled as the Newtonian or linear paradigm. For reasons that will become clear, we have called it, the paradigm of order.
