Complexity research in the humanities – recеnt examples

Abstract

Over the years, complexity research has become increasingly interdisciplinary. In addition to natural sciences such as physics and biology and social sciences such as economy, the possibilities of complexity are being recognized in some unexpected fields. The impression is that nowadays there are no more scientific disciplines in which numerical computation is not applied. Complexity has been used in humanities as well. By the mere fact that complexity has found its use within nearly all branches of science including humanities and by the increasing interdisciplinarity of complexity research, it actually becomes a framework for the science of the 21st century.
