Abstract

Boundaries and Constraints: Complexity as a Philosophical Problem. – The article attempts to reflect the inner character of the environment (described as a “non-object”) and possibilities how to acquire knowledge “about” it. While interested in the context of existence and relationships of individual beings (rather than individual beings themselves – and their mechanistically conceived movement), the limits are surpassed, that delimit reliability of the scientifically guaranteed view. Uncertainty that is attributed to the complex systems changes not only paths of thinking; it proves to be the real and fertile concept recently, when control over the life supporting resources of environment appears as a still more disastrous approach.
