Complex Systems and Contemplative Studies

Acknowledging the long history and challenges of attempts to formalize contemplative philosophy as a hard science, we propose that the young field of complexity science provides new opportunities for this age-old quest. 

​Our intention is three-fold: (1) to foster a community among experts working on either side of this intersection, (2) to collectively define the core questions and opportunities of this integration, and (3) to do so in a way that the community itself embodies the ideals of contemplation and scientific rigor we are bridging.
