Parábolas Y Catástrofes by René Thom
Entretiens sur les mathématiques, la science et la philosophie
A collection of essays and parables that uses catastrophe theory and topology to explain how continuous processes can lead to sudden qualitative changes. Through vivid metaphors and case studies from biology, linguistics, and the social sciences, it explores morphogenesis, structural stability, and singularities while arguing for an interdisciplinary science of form. It also challenges reductionism, reflecting on meaning, causality, and the limits of mathematical modeling.
