Editorial Reviews

A collection of 27 essays report on the current status of and potential for applying systems theory in semiotics, knowledge and cognition, culture, music, language, literature, and other of the humanities. They discuss such aspects as evolving complexity in social science, the logic of sociocultural evolution, the plurality of systems and the unity of the world, constructive contradictions, Godelian aspects of nature and knowledge, the self-organization of culture, systemic organization and the development of the European musical language, Hurst's indicators and text, and a systems-oriented approach to literary studies.
