Complexity, Modeling, Network

The »Yearbook for the Philosophy of Complex Systems« is dedicated to the scientific, systematic and philosophical exploration of complexity as a core concept of our time, both from a socio-political as well as a scientific point of view. The primary objective is to foster a comprehensive disciplinary engagement with complex systems within the domain of philosophical reflection. This endeavor involves examining non-linear dynamical processes and systems far from equilibrium through mathematical and physical approaches, investigating questions of organization and emergent behaviour from systemic-cybernetic perspectives, and exploring the application of the concept of »complexity« across various fields of study. The first issue focuses the relationship between complexity and modeling. More specifically it questions to the close relationship between complexity and network science, as the two new sciences that are redefining our approach to the world.
