Review
From the reviews:
"It is a book on postmodern philosophy which employs the terminology of soft computing and the theory of chaos as a metaphor and analogy. ... The authors’ ambition is to start bridging the gap between sciences and humanities. ... the ideas exposed in the book may enrich the reader’s thought ... . Some parts of the book may certainly be found interesting, and the book may even help some people in the development of their own worldview ... ."
