Complexism involves the extension of the world-view suggested by complexity science into the problem space of the arts and humanities. In doing so complexism provides a higher synthesis that subsumes both modern and postmodern concerns, attitudes, and activities. Complexism provides an intellectual meeting ground where 20th century conflicts between science and the humanities can be reconciled.

This is a new area of research for me, and it is a spin-off of my work in art theory. I introduce and explain the term "complexism" in Complexism and evolutionary art. (This is a pre-publication draft chapter for The Art of Artificial Evolution which will be available from Springer in early 2008. A short introduction is also available on the Springer site here.)

My plan of attack is to write small draft modules and to present them in my Complexism Blog. At a later date I will organize these modules into a larger, more refined, work.

(Note: I've discovered that the term "complexism" is also used by those in the homeopathy community. That usage is unrelated to mine.)
