Trên thực tế, sau khi đọc chương 6 và 7, trong đó các khái niệm về tác dụng khảm giữa các cấp, các phân tích vòng impredicative đã được giới thiệu, người đọc chán với những cuộc thảo luận nhận thức luận có thể bỏ qua chương này và di chuyển trực tiếp Phần 3. Câu hỏi đã trả lời của chương này. | 8 Sustainability Requires the Ability to Generate Useful Narratives Capable of Surfing Complex Time This is the last chapter dealing with epistemological after reading Chapters 6 and 7 in which the concepts of mosaic effects across levels and impredicative loop analysis were introduced the reader fed up with epistemological discussions can skip this chapter and move directly to Part question answered by this chapter is Ifwe refuse the charge that the expression sustainable development is an oxymoron then should we not be able to describe what it is that remains the same sustainable when the system becomes something else development We understand that to some practitioners this question could appear too theoretical. However the message proposed so far is that those analysts willing to deal with the issue of sustainability cannot just apply formal protocols. Complexity requires the adoption of flexible procedures of analysis that always imply an explicit semantic check. For this reason we believe that those who are serious about developing analytical tools for dealing with sustainability should address first as done in this chapter the peculiarity of this predicament. In this chapter Section introduces a few concepts that can be used to better frame the challenge implied by sustainability. The basic rationale proposed by Holling when representing evolutionary patterns using the concepts of resilience robustness and the cyclic movement among interrelated types the adaptive cycle is briefly introduced and translated into the narrative adopted so far in this book using the vocabulary presented in Part Section which is a technical section deals with the concept of essence something that cannot be formalized and that can be associated with the existence of multiple identities. The concept of essence requires a special discussion since this is the elusive concept generating the epistemological predicament implied by complexity. In this
