The “magic” word complexity evokes a multitude of meanings that obscure its real sense. Here we try and generate a bottom-up reconstruction of the deep sense of complexity by looking at the convergence of different features shared by complex systems. We specifically focus on complexity in biology but stressing the similarities with analogous features encountered in inanimate and artefactual systems in order to track an integrative path toward a new “mainstream” of science overcoming the actual fragmentation of scientific culture.

生物组织的复杂性：关键概念的解构（以及随后的重述）

“神奇”一词的复杂性唤起了许多模糊其真正含义的含义。在这里，我们尝试通过查看复杂系统共享的不同特征的收敛性来生成对深层复杂性的自下而上的重建。我们特别关注生物学的复杂性，但强调与无生命和人工系统中遇到的类似特征的相似性，以追踪通往新的科学“主流”的综合路径，克服科学文化的实际碎片化。
