Welcome Complexity Manifesto: Addressing Complexity: Weaving Together: Reason and Strategy in Human Affairs (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789811477720)

What if complexity were the undiscovered country? What if it were opportunity, gift, joy, enthusiasm? What if it were, not the defeat of all our customary modes of thought and action, but a challenge to discover the depth, breadth and substance of the world, with a regeneration of our thought and action? What if we were to shed our reassuring but unfit protections and, trusting and resolute, step into the promise of the unknown?

What if you were not alone in feeling this way? What if there were many like you, daily experiencing thought and action in complexity, even though we could not name them explicitly? What if you belonged with those struggling daily, humbly, to sustain the light of ethics? What if you were able to share, exchange, deliberate and discover the many united in complex thought and action? What if you could face your peers and increase your firmness in brotherhood?

What if you could trustingly walk the paths of complexity? If you could elaborate and refine modes of thought, concept and action in complexity within a benevolent matrix? If you could transform the way you experience your daily context and cast a new look on old problems?

What if in turn you could transform your surroundings, developing critical thought and conscience? Welcome Complexity aims at practical work on restoring conviviality, ethics, responsibility, pragmatism and lucidity, by developing and propagating regenerated ways of thought, concept and action in complexity.

We must be clear: Welcome Complexity is not offering one more answer to an assumed problem, nor asserting the existence of a problem requiring a solution. Welcome Complexity inaugurates a novel stage, reaching out a hand to anyone wishing to join us and travel together, in brotherhood and determination.
