Frases de Ervin László

Ervin László é um filósofo da ciência, teórico de sistemas, pensador integral e pianista clássico húngaro. Publicou cerca de 75 livros e 400 artigos e gravou vários concertos para piano.

Em 1984 fundou, com Riane Eisler, Francisco Varela e vários outros teóricos, o General Evolutionary Research Group, inicialmente secreto, que se reunia por trás da Cortina de Ferro. Sua meta era explorar a possibilidade de usar a teoria do caos para identificar uma nova teoria da evolução que pudesse servir como caminho para um mundo livre da ameaça das armas nucleares.

Em 1993, após sua experiência com o Clube de Roma, fundou o Clube de Budapeste, "centrando a atenção na evolução dos valores e consciência humanos como fatores cruciais na mudança de curso - de uma corrida em direção à degradaçào, polarização e desastre para uma reavaliação dos valores e prioridades a fim de navegar a transformação atual na direção do humanismo, ética e sustentabilidade global".

“Cultures are, in the final analysis, value-guided systems.”

“We are living in a time of dissent, upheaval, revolutions and struggle, frequently aimed at mutual destruction.”

“Yet while they exist, regardless of how long, each system has a specific structure made up of certain maintained relationships among its parts, and manifests irreducible characteristics of its own.”

Variante: Each system has a specific structure made up of certain maintained relationships among its parts, and manifests irreducible characteristics of its own.

“The description of the evolutionary trajectory of dynamical systems as irreversible, periodically chaotic, and strongly nonlinear fits certain features of the historical development of human societies. But the description of evolutionary processes, whether in nature or in history, has additional elements. These elements include such factors as the convergence of existing systems on progressively higher organizational levels, the increasingly efficient exploitation by systems of the sources of free energy in their environment, and the complexification of systems structure in states progressively further removed from thermodynamic equilibrium.
General evolution theory, based on the integration of the relevant tenets of general system theory, cybernetics, information and communication theory, chaos theory, dynamical systems theory, and nonequilibrium thermodynamics, can convey a sound understanding of the laws and dynamics that govern the evolution of complex systems in the various realms of investigation…. The basic notions of this new discipline can be developed to give an adequate account of the dynamical evolution of human societies as well. Such an account could furnish the basis of a system of knowledge better able to orient human beings and societies in their rapidly changing milieu.”

“The beginning of the twentieth century witnessed the breakdown of the mechanistic theory even within physics, the science where it was the most successful… Relativity took over in field physics, and the science of quantum theory in microphysics… In view of parallel developments in physics, chemistry, biology, sociology, and economics, many branches of the contemporary sciences became… ‘sciences of organized complexity’ — that is, systems sciences.”
