The Self-Organizing Universe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Self-Organizing Universe is a seminal book by Erich Jantsch that deals with self-organization as a unifying evolutionary paradigm that incorporates cosmology, biology, sociology, psychology, and consciousness. Jantsch is inspired by and draws on the work of Ilya Prigogine concerning dissipative structures and nonequilibrium states.

The book is an expanded version of the Gauthier Lectures in System Science given in May 1979 at the University of California in Berkely. It was published by Pergamon Press in 1980 as part of the System Science and World Order Library (edited by Ervin László) and has been out of print for many years.

The Self-Organizing Universe was extensively cited in Ken Wilber's integral philosophy book Sex, Ecology, Spirituality: The Spirit of Evolution.
