Science 2.0 columnist Cees Pieters will be at the ECCS 2012 Satellite Meeting on Critical Complexity in Practice: Exploring the Entanglement of Causal and Ethical Complexity in Organizations and Professions.
ECCS is the European Conference on Complex Systems and is being held at at Université Libre de Bruxelles from September 3rd-7th.
This one-day satellite meeting explores how critical complexity thinking - as developed among others by Edgar Morin and Paul Cilliers - can help to clarify the entanglement of causal and ethical complexity on the level of professional action. The focus is on the inner connections and feedback loops between conceptual, ethical and practical questions, especially with regard to ‘messy problems of great human concern’ in professional practice.
09:00–09:45 Harry Kunneman Introduction: Epistemological and ethical complexity
09:45–10:40 Jan-Hendrik Hofmeyr Critical complexity and biosemiotics
11:15–12:00 Mario Giampietro Science for governance: Multi-scale integrated analysis of societal and ecosystem metabolism
12:00–12:30 Hans Keune The policy-relevance of ecosystem services
14:00–14:30 Mark Hardman Critical complexity in the classroom 14:30–15:00 Francisca Flinterman Critical systems thinking in public health
15:00–15:30 Dineke Smits Critical complexity in primary care psychology
15:30–16:00 Cees Pieters Critical complexity in engineering
16:30–17:15 Gerrit Glas Critical complexity and psychiatry
17:15–18:00 Rosi Braidotti Critical complexity: A philosophical perspective
