Zusammenfassung
This volume is an experiment. It addresses various aspects of computability in a thematic and methodological breadth as it was once demanded by Francis Bacon at the beginning of modern Western science, but as it is rarely practiced today in a time of ever-increasing scientific specialization. At the beginning of the third millennium, the question of the computability of the physical, the psychological, and the social world arises once again—mainly due to advances in information and communication technology and the concurrent data deluge not only in the sciences but also in many other areas, e.g. in the economy and even our personal lives.
