Description

Various controversies have raged in the issues surrounding the philosophy of ethics since its various ancient inceptions; and in contemporary metaethics since GE Moore’s 1903, Principia Ethica. Complex-Information Theory will add new perspectives and almost uniquely add the findings of relevant complexity science to this ongoing discourse. For example, “entropy” or the tendency of the universe to “advance” towards disorder, has often been cited the equivalent of evil.

A deeper and broader analysis, however, shows that maligning entropy is far too hasty. Without entropy, the universe would be simpler and less interesting than a rock. While entropy can only be ignored at our own peril, information theory, which was founded in 1948, adds another novel perspective, sometimes even offering a quantitative valuation to issues of ethical import. Finally, complexity science, which had its stirrings approximately a generation later, adds another critical set of structures to build a better bridge between the physical world “out there,” and the erstwhile “inner” world of ethical values.
