The self-organizing universe

This book, published in 1980, delves into the concept of self-organization in various domains, including physics, biology, and human society.

Jantsch introduces the idea that complex systems spontaneously develop order and structure without external control, and he discusses how this principle operates across different levels of existence, from galaxies to living organisms to human societies.

The book also explores emergence, cosmic evolution, biological evolution, and the implications of self-organization for human evolution and consciousness, presenting a holistic paradigm that challenges reductionism and mechanistic views of the universe.
