At a time when global and local social, political, cultural, and economic affairs are engulfed in chaos, this book sheds light on the mechanisms of uncertainties, offering new visions and frameworks for analyzing the nonlinear interactions between individuals, societies, and the environment. From exploring the foundational elements that shape our understanding of humanity, such as worldviews, justice, and trust, to applying complexity theory in the realms of politics, economics, management, strategies, and wars, this monograph provides a comprehensive examination of its far-reaching implications. By examining historical bifurcations and structural changes in American history and China's modern development, it emphasizes how complexity theory can serve as a bridge for intellectual and cultural communication between Western (Newtonian) and East Asian (yin-yang-based) civilizations. Moreover, the book elucidates that nonlinear phenomena, including bifurcations, catastrophes, structural changes, emergence of structures, and chaos, are integral aspects of human evolution. It unveils the positive potential within chaos, demonstrating that a comprehensive understanding of catastrophic mechanisms enables humanity to prevent global disasters by leading systems to chaotic attractors without destructive consequences. Through an exploration of the intricate interdependencies among individuals, societies, and the environment, this book offers a unique and comprehensive introduction to the application of complexity theory to the realm of humanity. 001482458 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed October 18, 2023). 001482458 650_6 $$aComplexité (Philosophie) 001482458 650_6 $$aSciences sociales$$xPhilosophie. 001482458 650_0 $$aComplexity (Philosophy) 001482458 650_0 $$aEconomics$$xSociological aspects.$$xEconomic conditions$$0(DLC)sh 85001945 001482458 650_0 $$aSocial sciences$$xPhilosophy.$$0(DLC)sh 85027419 001482458 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001482458 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z3031423933$$z9783031423932$$w(OCoLC)1390680423 001482458 830_0 $$aUnderstanding complex systems,$$x1860-0840 001482458 830_0 $$aSpringer complexity. 001482458 852__ $$bebk 001482458 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-42394-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001482458 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1482458$$pGLOBAL_SET 001482458 980__ $$aBIB 001482458 980__ $$aEBOOK 001482458 982__ $$aEbook 001482458 983__ $$aOnline 001482458 994__ $$a92$$bISE
