| dc.description.abstract | This paper aims to explore relevant emergence metaphors with a view to apply these to the humanities in general and to education and schooling in particular. I firstly unpacked the grammar of emergence, by explaining a selection of characteristics of complex systems. Secondly I applied these to concepts of knowledge and research in the humanities, by ways of juxtaposing the simplicity and complexity paradigms. Thirdly I applied emergence metaphors to education and schooling and finally suggested new modes of thinking to allow humans to cope better in a complex world. | en |
