Emergence and Convergence

Focusing on the concepts of parts and wholes, as well as the origin of novelty, Mario Bunge explores the challenges within the sciences and humanities. He delves into systems and their emergent properties, illustrating his ideas through examples such as molecular synthesis, the generation of ideas, and social innovations. The work aims to provide insights into how complex systems evolve and develop new characteristics, contributing to a deeper understanding of emergence and convergence in various fields.
