  • A World Beyond Physics

    The Emergence and Evolution of Life

    by Stuart A. Kauffman ...
    How did life start? Is the evolution of life describable by any physics-like laws? Stuart Kauffman's latest book offers an explanation-beyond what the laws of physics can explain-of the progression from a complex chemical environment to molecular reproduction, metabolism and to early protocells, and further evolution to what we recognize as life. Among the estimated one hundred billion solar ... Read more

  • At Home in the Universe

    The Search for the Laws of Self-Organization and Complexity

    by Stuart Kauffman ...
    A major scientific revolution has begun, a new paradigm that rivals Darwin's theory in importance. At its heart is the discovery of the order that lies deep within the most complex of systems, from the origin of life, to the workings of giant corporations, to the rise and fall of great civilizations. And more than anyone else, this revolution is the work of one man, Stuart Kauffman, a MacArthur ... Read more

  • Explaining Technology

    by Roger Koppl, Roberto Cazzolla Gatti, Abigail Devereaux, Brian D. Fath, Wim Hordijk, Stuart Kauffman, Robert E. Ulanowicz, Sergi Valverde, James Herriot ...
    Series series Elements in Evolutionary Economics
    A long tradition explains technological change as recombination. Within this tradition, this Element develops an innovative combinatorial model of technological change and tests it with 2,000 years of global GDP data and with data from US patents filed between 1835 and 2010. The model explains 1) the pace of technological change for a least the past two millennia, 2) patent citations and 3) the ... Read more

  • Reinventing the Sacred

    A New View of Science, Reason, and Religion

    by Stuart A Kauffman ...
    Consider the woven integrated complexity of a living cell after 3.8 billion years of evolution. Is it more awe-inspiring to suppose that a transcendent God fashioned the cell, or to consider that the living organism was created by the evolving biosphere? As the eminent complexity theorist Stuart Kauffman explains in this ambitious and groundbreaking new book, people who do not believe in God have ... Read more

  • The Origins of Order

    Self-Organization and Selection in Evolution

    by Stuart A. Kauffman ...
    Stuart Kauffman here presents a brilliant new paradigm for evolutionary biology, one that extends the basic concepts of Darwinian evolution to accommodate recent findings and perspectives from the fields of biology, physics, chemistry and mathematics. The book drives to the heart of the exciting debate on the origins of life and maintenance of order in complex biological systems. It focuses on the ... Read more

  • Humanity in a Creative Universe

    by Stuart A. Kauffman ...
    In the hard sciences, which can often feel out of grasp for many lay readers, there are "great thinkers" who go far beyond the equations, formulas, and research. Minds such as Stephen Hawking philosophize about the functions and nature of the universe, the implications of our existence, and other impossibly fascinating, yet difficult questions. Stuart A. Kauffman is one of those great thinkers. He ... Read more

  • Awakening

    Exploring Spirituality, Emergent Creativity, and Reconciliation

    by Vern Neufeld Redekop, Gloria Neufeld Redekop, Megan Price, Nadia Delicata, Kelly Kilrea, Jamie Price, Matthew A. MacDonald, Patrice Brodeur, Brigitte Gagnon0, Neil Theise1, Neil Sargent2, Stuart Kauffman3, Katherine Peil Kauffman4, Barbod Salimi5, Borislava Manojlovic6, Andrea Bartoli7, Sandor Goodhart8 ...
    Even if all of the elements we know to be significant in the process of reconciliation were present, reconciliation would not necessarily take place. Reconciliation is a nonlinear, nonalgorithmic process that involves “matters of the heart.” From emergent creativity and its links to mysticism, to the evolution of emotions as drivers of thought, Awakening weaves cutting-edge discoveries in ...

  • Investigations

    by Stuart A. Kauffman ...
    "It may be that I have stumbled upon an adequate description of life itself." These modest yet profound words trumpet an imminent paradigm shift in scientific, economic, and technological thinking. In the tradition of Schrödinger's classic What Is Life?, Kauffman's Investigations is a tour-de-force exploration of the very essence of life itself, with conclusions that radically undermine the ...

    A World Beyond Physics

    The Emergence and Evolution of Life

    by Stuart A. Kauffman ...
    Narrated by Bob Souer ...

    Unabridged

    3 hours 44 min

    Among the estimated one hundred billion solar systems in the known universe, evolving life is surely abundant. That evolution is a process of "becoming" in each case. Since Newton, we have turned to physics to assess reality. But physics alone cannot tell us where we came from, how we arrived, and why our world has evolved past the point of unicellular organisms to an extremely complex biosphere ... Read more
