Beschreibung:
Chance is uncanny to us. We thought it didn't exist, that God or a reasonable explanation was behind everything. But we know today: It exists. We know that much of what surrounds us and which we do not see through, nevertheless runs causally. Unlike what was thought in the days of the Enlightenment, chance is the rule around us rather than lawful order. The clouds are stochastic fractals, the waves on the sea are pure random machinery. The philosopher Charles Peirce recognized the fundamental importance of chance in precisely this sense even before quantum and chaos theory, and gave the doctrine its name: Tychism.
Short history of science with chance.- Chance everywhere in nature - mathematics of fractals and physics of water waves.- Chance in the cosmos, e.g. Anthropic Principle.- Popper's three worlds updated with computer science and chance.- Evolution as a prime example how chance makes the new.- Human creativity and chance.- Sog. Free will and chance.- Noise as a source and sink of chance.- Tychism: more than a philosophical trouvaille.- Updating of Tychism to modern worldview.- Chance in the human: Existentialism and Borderline Situations.
