Abstract: Abstract After discussing computational sociology, let’s comprehensively discuss the impact of complexity science on digital economics. As we have discussed that, complexity, as the frontier thought of contemporary science, has penetrated into almost every field including humanities and social sciences. Moreover, as the influence of science and technology on contemporary society is deepening and the basic trend of society is more and more complicated, human social life is becoming increasingly complex. All of them have made the reflection on complexity a grand proposition of the times. From natural sciences to humanities, the wide application of the concept of scientific complexity can be called the consciousness of the concept of complexity. The science and theory of complexity have possessed the enlightenment at the philosophical level. As Professor Yang Zhenning said that “physics research before the nineteenth century was greatly influenced by philosophy, but today’s physics suffer less effect from philosophy. Besides, the philosophy being discussed here is the philosophy spoken by philosophy workers or experienced by physicists. The former exerted less and less influence in the twentieth century, but now physics is affecting philosophy in turn, and such effect will continue.” In other words, philosophy has influenced science most of the time in the history of science, but now it is the progress of science that affects the paradigm of philosophy.
