The "magic" word complexity evokes a multitude of meanings that obscure its real sense. Here we try and generate a bottom-up reconstruction of the deep sense of complexity by looking at the convergence of different features shared by complex systems. We specifically focus on complexity in biology but stressing the similarities with analogous features encountered in inanimate and artefactual systems in order to track an integrative path toward a new "mainstream" of science overcoming the actual fragmentation of scientific culture.
“复杂性”这个“神奇”的词唤起了众多含义,模糊了其真正意义。在这里,我们试图通过审视复杂系统共有的不同特征的趋同性,自下而上地重构复杂性的深层意义。我们特别关注生物学中的复杂性,但强调与无生命系统和人工制品系统中类似特征的相似性,以便探寻一条通向新的科学“主流”的综合路径,克服科学文化当前的碎片化状态。
