Abstract

Complexity theory offers an alternative to the simple causality and reductive accounts of change which dominate contemporary policy and practice. It does so by recognising that the interplay of dynamic elements results in the emergence of patterns and meanings that cannot be predicted by considering those elements in isolation. This symposium will show how complexity contests what it means to educate, and how it is related to existing philosophical traditions. This is the third of four papers presented at the workshop. It uses insights from complexity theory, along with the work of Gilles Deleuze, to critique existing characterisations of learning.
