Rescher (philosophy of science, U. of Pittsburgh) explores the nature of complexity, its bearing on the human world, and how people manage their affairs within it. His overall lesson is that as lives become more socially, technologically, and cognitively complex, the potential damage of wrong decisions multiplies--nuclear or environmental devastation rather than the family starving. Though his conclusions are somber, he believes that imperfect knowledge provides a rationale for putting forth best efforts. No subject index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
