About this Unit
This unit introduces Complexity Theory as a paradigm - an evocative, new framework by which we make sense of the world and how we may live in it. The proposition is developed that all complex systems are adaptive, self-organising with emergent properties. This calls into question how we seek to manage and control life events.
