		Erich Jantsch (1929-1980) was an Austrian astrophysicist who wrote the book The Self-organizing Universe: Scientific and Human Implications of the Emerging Paradigm of Evolution (1980).
		Although abiding strictly by the understanding of science, Jantsch arranges the various elements of cosmic, planetary, biological, psychological, and human evolution in a single overall framework of emergent evolution that may or may not be considered teleological (see Jantsch 1980 p.224).
		Prigogine and Jantsch are not the first to have tried to justify the transformation of the world of living things under the influence of development by an appeal to the infinite malleability of man and nature.

	The Self-Organizing Universe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Self-Organizing Universe is a seminal book by Erich Jantsch that deals with self-organization as a unifying evolutionary paradigm that incorporates cosmology, biology, sociology, psychology, and consciousness.
		Jantsch is inspired by and draws on the work of Ilya Prigogine concerning dissipative structures and nonequilibrium states.
		The book is an expanded version of the Gauthier Lectures in System Science given in May 1979 at the University of California in Berkely.

	Goldsmith: Superscience: its mythology and legitimisation.
		Of course to Prigogine and Jantsch, this may well be unimportant, since, as we shall see, they do not see the behaviour of living things as being bound by any specific laws - if behaviour is thereby random - so of course must be the units of behaviour.
		Also it would be self-defeating for Prigogine and Jantsch to make use of these concepts for it would render their task very difficult of masking the essential difference between biospheric and technospheric processes.
		Another concept which Prigogine and Jantsch misuse is that of 'stability' which for them is a feature of those 'steady-state non-equilibrium structures', such as planets and crystals, whose behaviour we are told is still governed by Boltzman's Ordering Principle.

		Erich Jantsch says social systems are re-creative ones because they can create new reality (Jantsch, 1979: 305), the socio-cultural human being has the ability to create the conditions for his further evolution all by himself (343).
		Jantsch says that these types of systems represent different types of social self-organization, the purposeful system corresponding to a fully developed human system.
		The terms Jantsch uses for the three subsystems are rather untypical in sociological approaches, hence I suggest that it is better to distinguish between economy, polity, and culture as the three main subsystems of the sociosphere.

		According to Jantsch: "Autopoiesis is an expression of the fundamental complementarity of structure and function, that flexibility and plasticity due to dynamic relations, through which self-organization becomes possible." (1980, p.10).
		In Jantsch's words again: "...human systems with all their tangible and intangible aspects might then perhaps be regarded as dissipative structures, arising from the interaction of strong and highly nonequilibrium flows of ideas and actions.

	The Twilight Club (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Twilight Club is an ethical movement dedicated to the realization of this universal purpose of human life, to pursue happiness and fulfillment through the creation of ever-increasing balance and hamorny within and among people, and thereby to achieve the balanced evolution of humanity, individally and as a whole.
		Evolution is cogently defined by the evolutionary systems theorist Erich Jantsch as the process of "self-realization through self-transcendence." The philosopher Alfred North Whitehead viewed evolution as the manifestation of "creativity," the cosmic drive towards the endless production of new syntheses.
		The philosopher Herbert Spencer, founder of the Twilight Club, who was one of the first thinkers to apply the theory of evolution to philosophy and ethics, presciently saw that ethics is an integral part of the successful evolution of human society, and that the trend of moral decline would therefore precipitate its devolution.

	Syntony Quest: Frequently Asked Questions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Syntony Quest is based on the conviction that the most important survival challenge of our species is to learn consciously to tune in to and harmonize with the general evolutionary forces that shape us as we shape them.
		Jantsch considers syntony as "inquiry at the evolutionary level par excellence"
		He describes this inquiry as the process of cultural organization which "may be helped in an evolutionary sense by furthering cultural differentiation, a pluralism of as many ideas, life styles, and world views as possible.

	Third Perspective
		For example, the kinds of syntheses produced by Erich Jantsch (20, 21) bring together much that appears relevant to comprehension of the breakthrough required into a more adequate approach.
		Before considering the possible nature of such "containers", the work of Prigogine on "order through fluctuation" (38, 39) must be examined, especially in the light of Jantsch's efforts to establish its relevance to the self-organizing sociocultural systems central to human and social development.
		Jantsch sees this essentially dualistic description as itself complemented by Rene Thorn's topological model seen as constituting the first rigorously formulated monistic model of life. Here instabilities (catastrophes) are responsible for mutations such that the deterministic and finalistic aspects are understood as complementary links in a temporal feedback cycle.

	Needs Communication: viable need patterns and their identification
		The ramifications of this question are discussed elsewhere,[ 10 ] and it is interesting that the same authors are cited by Erich Jantsch in considering the archetypal implications of the decomposition of a whole in relation to modes of learning, evolution of consciousness, and methods of inquiry.
		Jantsch notes that it is the transitions between these four basic qualities that symbolize how a gestalt system maintains its nature (to comprehension?) in the presence of many temptations to become formalized.
		The third group from the ennead (9-term) to the dodecad (12-term) is mainly concerned with the harmony of structures: that is, the conditions that enable them to fulfill their destined purpose.

	WILBER’S EIGHT-FOLD WAY
		Jantsch’s model was quite original at the time, in that it viewed evolution as occurring along two correlated and converging pathways (Fig.
		This evolutionary sequence is also very well established scientifically, but what makes Jantsch’s model novel is that he argues that the two paths are correlated, with a particular stage or step in one path associated with a particular stage in the other.
		A second key feature of the Wilber model that derives from Jantsch is the view that stars and planets are societies of atoms and molecules, respectively, analogous to societies of organisms, including ourselves.

	The Systems View of Life - The Turning Point - Fritjof Capra (82)
		Among the main contributors are the chemist Ilya Prigogine and Manfred Eigen, the biologists Conrad Waddington and Paul Weiss, the anthropologist Gregory Bateson, and the systems theorists Erich Jantsch and Ervin Laszlo.
		A comprehensive synthesis of the theory has recently been published by Erich Jantsch, who regards evolution as an essential aspect of the dynamics of self-organisation.
		In the words of Jantsch, "God is not the creator, but the mind of the universe." In this view the deity is, of course, neither male or female, nor manifest in any personal form, but represents nothing less than the self-organizing dynamics of the entire cosmos.

		the mind of the universe.' Jantsch defines 'mind' as 'self-organization dynamics at many levels, as a dynamics which itself evolves.
		Fox continues by noting that Jantsch observed that this knowledge was the domain of mystics until science began to recognize self-organization in all aspects of nature.
		Fox then observes that this 'mind' or self-organizing principle was called 'wisdom' in the Old Testament, or 'sophia,' God's co-creator, who still lies at the heart of the ever creating universe.

		Philosophers, scientists, and educators that have proposed theories of spiritual evolution include Schelling, Hegel, Max Théon, Henri Bergson, Sri Aurobindo, Jean Gebser, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Arthur M. Young, Edward Haskell, E. Schumacher, Erich Jantsch, Clare W. Graves, Aristotle, Alfred North Whitehead, Terrence McKenna, P.R. Sarkar, and Ken Wilber.
		These theorists tend (for the most part) to be non-materialistic or non-reductionistic, and thus out of the intellectual mainstream.
		New Age thought is strongly syncretic and based on a superficial but creative interpretation of previous spiritual and esoteric traditions, especially Eastern thought, Theosophy, and popular (mis)interpretations of science.

	THE HUMAN FUTURE with TERENCE McKENNA
		And strangely enough, my own career somewhat paralleled that model, as I was a student of Erich Jantsch, who was one of the great forecasters of the last ten years.
		And he was very concerned to model the future with a degree of realism that had previously not been possible, and he taught me that the way to do this is to concentrate on the novel and the unexpected.
		This is why we have to commit ourselves to this kind of conscious, open-system, non-equilibrium future that futurists like Jantsch, and West Churchman and others have so eloquently described in their work.

	Self-organization and complexity in the natural sciences
		Both his philosophical musings (Prigogine & Stengers, 1984) about the new world view implied by self-organization and irreversible change, and his scientific work (Nicolis & Prigogine, 1977, 1989; Prigogine, 1980) on bifurcations and order through fluctuations remain classics, cited in the most diverse contexts.
		Inspired by Prigogine's theories, Erich Jantsch has made an ambitious attempt to synthesize everything that was known at the time (1979) about self-organizing processes, from the Big Bang to the evolution of society, into an encompassing world view.
		The physicist Hermann Haken (1978) has suggested the label of synergetics for the field that studies the collective patterns emerging from many interacting components, as they are found in chemical reactions, crystal formations or lasers.

	Quadrants - Integral Wiki
		Erich Jantsch, in his pioneering book The Self-Organizing Universe (1980), pointed out that every `micro' event (individual holon) exists embedded in a corresponding `macro' event (a community or collective of similarly structured holons).
		These communities, collectives, or societies are summarized in the Lower Right quadrant, and they, too, simply represent the results of generally uncontested scientific research.
		Thus, for example, Erich Jantsch points out that when atoms were the most complex individual holons in existence, galaxies were the most complex collective structures; with molecules, planets; with prokaryotes, the Gaia system; with limbic systems, groups and families; and so forth.

		For his understanding of nature, Wilber relies upon the new sciences of complexity as summarized by Ervin Laszlo and Erich Jantsch.
		Interestingly, none of the 28 names of scientists associated with the new sciences of complexity that Lloyd lists appear on Wilber's list of 10 scientists whose differing works he fits under the umbrella term “complexity.” The new sciences of complexity are very exciting, but they do not contain the orienting generalizations that Wilber needs.
		The works of Ervin Laszlo and Erich Jantsch contain interesting grand synthesizing visions, but to say that they represent the already-agreed-upon knowledge of the natural sciences is inaccurate.

		To illustrate this rapprochement: Of late, quantum physics and cosmologists have felt bound to deal with the problem of God and have come to state intellectually what formerly had been accessible only to mystical experience.
		Thus, probably independently developing a suggestion by Erich Jantsch (1980, 308), Paul Davies (1983, 210) states, "This would not be a God who created everything by supernatural means, but a directing, controlling, universal mind pervading the cosmos and operating the laws of nature to achieve some specific purpose.
		We would describe this state of affairs by saying that the universe is a mind: a self-observing as well as self-organizing system." And Sir Fred Hoyle (1984) even speaks of an overall gestalt of intelligence or pure information.
