The Biologist's Mistress : 9780984216550 : 15 Jun 2011 : Drawing on her experiences as a complexity theorist, novelist, and art theorist, Alexander goes inside paradoxically purposeful self-organizing entities to show how poetic-like relationships help form organization where there was none before. She suggests that it is these chance language-like processes that result in emergent design and selfhood, thereby offering an alternative to postmodern theories that have unfairly snubbed the purposeful artist. 246 pp.
