-Kazuyoshi Yoshimura (Graduate School of Science) - Scope
- As the twenty-first century unfolds, it has become clear that the major problems of our age－energy, the environment, financial security, education and even science－cannot be understood in isolation. Because these problems are all interrelated and interdependent, they are referred to as systemic problems (Fritjof Capra and Pier Luigi Luisi, 2015). Although these problems seem to be very complex, they must be considered as just different aspects of a single whole. Situations of this kind are relevant to understanding the question “What is Life?”, because we have been viewing life more and more as a communicative event, not merely as a composite system made of many different material elements (Franz-Theo Gottwald, 2002). It is now clear that a full understanding of our present-day problems requires nothing less than a precisely new conception of life itself. In the present symposium, we are inviting multidisciplinary researchers from many different kinds of departments. On the basis of complex system science, we are beginning to understand that there are simple solutions to many complex problems. We therefore definitely hope that an integrative perspective will emerge out of this symposium.
