W. Hofkirchner:
"The validity of describing `Morphogenic society´ as a system and justifiability of thinking about it as a social formation";
Talk: `Morphogenic Society´ as a potential new social formation?, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (invited); 2013-01-16 - 2013-01-18.

Chapter 6 contends that the fact we find "morphogenesis unbound" being a tendency of current societal development does not justify to call the latest social formation "morphogenic society". What is indicated by "morphogenesis unbound" is rather a crisis threatening the continuation of civilised life on Earth. This crisis can be overcome if and when reflexivity includes systems reflexivity, that is, the decentering of individual actors from themselves and the extension of their concerns to a supra-individual meta-level that serves as point of orientation of their common actions. Such a state of development would deserve the name "morphogenic society" in contradistinction to the current state which tends to restrict self-reflection.
