Theme 5: charting a new methods territory

.

Chapter 27 in The Atlas of Social Complexity, 2024, pp 387-388 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter introduces the methodological section of our tour. Theme 5 seeks to balance a rigorous critique of the methods of computational and complexity science, while also providing a clear horizon along which various advances are being made in answer to the 13 situations. The chapters in this theme include Make Love, Not Models (Chapter 28), Revisiting Complex Causality (Chapter 29), Mapping the New Methods Terrain (Chapter 30) and Getting Philosophically Real (Chapter 31). Chapter 29, in particular, includes a survey of the qualitative and interdisciplinary methods we see as most promising, which includes various case-based methods and systems mapping. Chapter 31 ends the theme and the tour by grounding it all in the philosophical framing we find most useful, complex realism.
