The following table shows some differences of concepts of self-organization and evolution. |
|
Autopoiesis |
Self-organization |
Synergetics |
Schelling |
Evolution- |
| How works it? | How emerges it? | How arises the whole from its parts - and reverse? | there is a genetic-historical aspect only in
science of nature |
all structures evolve (all determinateness arises from evolution) |
|
existing stuff is assumed |
How arises objectivity? | concrete interaction | ||
| system-immanent, without emerging News deterministic |
innovativ-emergent, in "edge of chaos" (Bifurcation-point) not predictable |
the possibilities are predictable | all Possibilieties are really, i.e. necessarly in the "Absolute" | in a "statistic law"-categorie exists a difference: for system exists one possibility (necessary tendency) - for parts/elements exist a distribution for probabilities for their behavior |
| preservation-process is primary | Non-equilibrium is "normally" | coupled differential- equations, not evolution-equations |
becoming is primary
(in natura naturans, not in n. naturata!) |
Dialectic of process and evolution/ development |
| no evolution, only "drift" |
chance as cause of evolution (freedom in chance) |
Selection corresponding practicability | practicability (freedom as productive freedom) |
evolution through ko-evolution between several systems (combining aspects of probability and necessity from several systems and their parts) |
|
no sentences about evolution |
describes cooperativity, but not production of new modes | there are higher potences (without qualitative essence-differences) | Evolution through Co-Evolution with
several niveaus of essence-differences |
|
|
in each case only emelments of evolution-cycles |
universality as historical process (in n.naturata) | succession of processes
(co-evolutive, |
||
| flowing equilibrium | non-equilibrium | several "modes" emerge after "edge of chaos" (Bifurcation point) | original opposite is never dissolved completely | already new contradictions and possibilities emerge |
| in each case only one step in the succession of processes assumed | continuity of "Potentation" | interaction of the niveaus,
Co-Evolution |
