Book Description
Throughout history, humanity has grappled with how to face the inevitability of death. Today, this struggle takes many forms, from efforts to extend life through medical and technological advances to the fascination with apocalyptic imagery in popular culture. To move beyond these ideas and explore new possibilities, we must seek precise knowledge across fields such as cosmology, biology, and evolution, examining the origins of life and death, which trace back billions of years to the earliest organisms and chemical compounds on Earth. For humans, these life stages prompt profound questions about the origins and meaning of life, why we age and die, and what, if anything, lies beyond death. These mysteries have driven human curiosity since our earliest days as a species, and we are better prepared than ever to explore these questions. Life Cycle in the Natural Sciences and Traditional Cultures as a Complex System Self-Organization explores the modeling and system analysis of the human life cycle, from the emergence and evolution of life to death and post-mortem phenomena, all within the framework of the theory of self-organization of complex systems. By treating life cycle events as wave and soliton processes, the research bridges anthropology, systems theory, geology, biochemistry, and evolution, among other fields. Covering topics such as death, senility, and transpersonal experience, this book is an excellent resource for academicians, researchers, educators, graduate and postgraduate students, philosophers of science, and more.

Post-Mortem Existence Within the Complex Systems Self-Organization Theory Framework and in Traditional Cultures
Author: Kovalyov, Yury N.
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN:
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
Exploring ideas of post-mortem existence through the lenses of complex systems and traditional cultural perspectives offers a deeper understanding about life, death, and the existence beyond. Self-organization theory provides a framework for examining how cultural systems evolve and adapt new concepts of post-mortem states, where individual consciousness and collective memory continue to evolve. Traditional cultures provide diverse and deep-rooted views on the afterlife, often envisioning a continued existence, spiritual transformation, or idea perpetuated by moral beliefs. Further research on integrating these perspectives is necessary to gain a more nuanced approach to post-mortem existence understanding and appreciation for evolving systems and cultural constructs. Post-Mortem Existence Within the Complex Systems Self-Organization Theory Framework and in Traditional Cultures explores the ideals of post-mortem existences in traditional cultures using a complex systems self-organization theory framework. Religious structures and cultural responses to death are outlined while examining various models and scenarios. This book covers topics such as biology, philosophy, and anthropology, and is a useful resource for scientists, biologists, medical professionals, philosophers, anthropologists, academicians, and researchers.

Logos of Phenomenology and Phenomenology of The Logos. Book Four
Author: Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1402037376
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 358
Book Description
Prompted and ever diversified by the specifically human interrogative logos, scientific inquiries seek a common system of links in order to mutually confirm and rectify their results. Coming closer and closer to phenomenology, the sciences of life find the common ground of the reality in the ontopoiesis of life. Could it not be that the interrogative logos of science, participating in human creative inventiveness will bring together also the divergent scientific methods in a common network? A network which comprises natural processes, societal sharing-in-life, and existential communication.

Handbook of Life Course Health Development
Author: Neal Halfon
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319471430
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 667
Book Description
This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This handbook synthesizes and analyzes the growing knowledge base on life course health development (LCHD) from the prenatal period through emerging adulthood, with implications for clinical practice and public health. It presents LCHD as an innovative field with a sound theoretical framework for understanding wellness and disease from a lifespan perspective, replacing previous medical, biopsychosocial, and early genomic models of health. Interdisciplinary chapters discuss major health concerns (diabetes, obesity), important less-studied conditions (hearing, kidney health), and large-scale issues (nutrition, adversity) from a lifespan viewpoint. In addition, chapters address methodological approaches and challenges by analyzing existing measures, studies, and surveys. The book concludes with the editors’ research agenda that proposes priorities for future LCHD research and its application to health care practice and health policy. Topics featured in the Handbook include: The prenatal period and its effect on child obesity and metabolic outcomes. Pregnancy complications and their effect on women’s cardiovascular health. A multi-level approach for obesity prevention in children. Application of the LCHD framework to autism spectrum disorder. Socioeconomic disadvantage and its influence on health development across the lifespan. The importance of nutrition to optimal health development across the lifespan. The Handbook of Life Course Health Development is a must-have resource for researchers, clinicians/professionals, and graduate students in developmental psychology/science; maternal and child health; social work; health economics; educational policy and politics; and medical law as well as many interrelated subdisciplines in psychology, medicine, public health, mental health, education, social welfare, economics, sociology, and law.

Applied Natural Science
Author: Mark D. Goldfein
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1315342340
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
Applied Natural Science: Environmental Issues and Global Perspectives provides the reader with a complete insight into the natural-scientific pattern of the world, covering the most important historical stages of the development of various areas of science, methods of natural-scientific research, general scientific and philosophical concepts, and the fundamental laws of nature. The book analyzes the main scientific trends and developments of modern natural science and also discusses important aspects of environmental protection. Topics include: The problem of "the two cultures": the mathematization of natural sciences and the informatization of society The non-linear nature of the processes occurring in nature and society Application of the second law of thermodynamics to describe the development of biological systems Global problems of the biosphere Theory and practice of stable organic paramagnetic materials Polymers and the natural environment Key features include: An interdisciplinary approach in considering scientific and technical problems A discussion of general scientific trends in modern natural science, including globalization challenges in nature and society, the organic chemistry of stable paramagnetic materials, the fundamentals of the environmental chemistry of polymeric materials, etc. A justification of applying classical (non-equilibrium) thermodynamics to studying the behavior of open (including biological) systems Of particular importance in the book is the discussion of some problems associated with the place of man in the biosphere, issues of the globalization of science and technology, new ideas about the universe, and the concept of universal evolutionism. At the same time, the book discusses more specific issues related to solving major global and regional environmental problems (particularities of organic paramagnetic materials, the influence of polymers on the man and environment, etc). All this leads to the fundamental conclusion of the unity of animate and inanimate nature, as well as improvement of the process of cognition of the real world, which consists in objective and natural changing of world views. The book is intended for professors, teachers, and students of classical and technological universities who are interested in the development of the foundations of modern natural sciences, as well as for professionals working in the field of chemical physics and applied ecology.

Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
A clear, concise introduction to the quickly growing field of complexity science that explains its conceptual and mathematical foundations What is a complex system? Although "complexity science" is used to understand phenomena as diverse as the behavior of honeybees, the economic markets, the human brain, and the climate, there is no agreement about its foundations. In this introduction for students, academics, and general readers, philosopher of science James Ladyman and physicist Karoline Wiesner develop an account of complexity that brings the different concepts and mathematical measures applied to complex systems into a single framework. They introduce the different features of complex systems, discuss different conceptions of complexity, and develop their own account. They explain why complexity science is so important in today's world.
