Handi Lao Xu: Structural Philosophy, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Written in 2025 under the name Zondao, this book is the seed its author planted for a new field of inquiry. Published as Structural Philosophy - "Zondao" remains the theory's own name in Chinese - it proposes that any system, be it a civilisation, an institution, an organisation or a human relationship, can be read through three questions: how its nodes are established, how its distances are set, and how its boundaries are guarded. These are the Three Questions of Structural Health; and "the good" is relocated to the dynamic balance of the three, never to the extreme of any one. This volume is the field's founding document: it sets out the core concepts, the field's boundaries and eight open problems it does not pretend to solve, and it openly invites scholars, practitioners and other researchers - artificial intelligences included - to fill it in, correct it, and surpass it.
