Epistemologies of complexity on the basis of a discourse analysis of the concept of entropy
Complexity research is an interdisciplinary study of how order can be generated from multiple interactions between different components, where the number of unpredictable elements is enormous. An epistemology of complexity should then require that the question of cognition be transformed from one of the description of reality and the
analysis of the epistemic ordering parameters of this observation.
In this context, the epistemology of complexity aims at a critical analysis of the conditions of observed order/ordering structures of complex processes. This critical question - critical insofar as one deals with the conditions of possibility of the cognition of order structures - is dealt with by means of a discourse analysis of order/disorder and on the basis of the concept of entropy.
