The Paradigm of Self-Organization and Its Philosophical Foundation

Abstract

This contribution falls into five small parts:

• — it starts with a look to the architecture of science and the word “paradigm”;

• — in a second step I will introduce the so-called philosophical questions, beginning especially with ethics;

• — in the third part I will briefly refer to anthropology and the so-called “Life-World Problem”;

• — in my fourth point I will draw the reader’s attention to the epistemological question of how we understand;

• — in my concluding part I will sum up my contribution and state two important remarks on my subject.
