W. Hofkirchner:
"Self-Organisation as the Mechanism of Development and Evolution in Social Systems";
in: "Social Morphogenesis", M. Archer (Hrg.); Springer, 2013, S. 125 - 143.



Kurzfassung deutsch:
The chapter explores how close the concepts of morphogenesis and self-organisation are. Both can be seen to have natural science origins though applicable to the long-term history of societies, to events within societies and to contemporary society modernity seems to transform into. Both can be labeled descriptive, explanatory and normative at the same time. That view can be accomplished when resorting to dialectical philosophy, evolutionary systems theory and critical social systems theory, each based upon the former. The argument starts with a discussion of revolution, proceeds to reflexivity and ends up with the needs to grasp unity-through-diversity to respond to the complexity of the global age.
