Chaos Theory versus control and univocal understanding of human beings. La théorie du chaos versus le contrôle

Thanks to Dr Pierre Cousineau who brought me on the explorative track of the Chaos Theory. Even if there are differences with contextual psychology, there are also similarities. Thanks to the mind too for those derived relational frames. Cannot do without it, so useful sometimes!

This video talks about seeking control, unpredictability, present moment and ..... It is summarizing chaos theory with some links to psychology. In english subtitled in french (approximately 9 minutes)

Merci à Dr Pierre Cousineau ne m'avoir mise sur la piste de la théorie du chaos. Même s'il y a des différences avec la philosophie contextuelle, certains éléments s'en rapprochent. Ce vidéo est sous-titré en français et donne une vue d'ensemble de la théorie en lien avec la psychologie.

Pragmatism is a largely American system of philosophical thought popularized by William James. It is related to contextualism in that it shares the same truth criterion of successful working. Feel free to add to this page if you are a fan.

  • The BBC has recently run a radio show on pragmatism that is pretty interesting and a good introduction to pragmatism. You can listen to it online if you are interested in the theory or a bit of its history.
