Abstract

The Synergism Hypothesis advances a general theory of complex systems that, among other things, entails a theoretical synthesis between the life sciences and the social sciences. The common ground upon which this synthesis is based is the problem of accounting for the origin and evolution of complex systems at various levels of biological organization ?cellular, organic, organismic, and sociopolitical.
