Entropy and Creativity, a Dialectical Approach

By: Nikola Kajtez

From £35.99

By reframing the cosmos through entropy and creativity, this book offers a solution to the Fermi paradox, a correction of the Drake equation, and a new definition of singularity, revealing a unique chain of being—from elementary information to all possible worlds.

This book positions entropy and creativity as key philosophical categories and presents the action of entropy and the notion of creativity on the informational, natural-scientific,…

This book positions entropy and creativity as key philosophical categories and presents the action of entropy and the notion of creativity on the informational, natural-scientific, social-humanistic and metaphysical levels. In this sense, the book expands the scale of the civilization envisioned by Nikolai Kardashev and Carl Sagan; deepens the readership’s understanding of the anthropic principle and the paradigm concept; provides a layered explanation and solution to the Fermi paradox; corrects the parameters of the Drake equation; explores singularity outside of the traditional framework of this term and points to the philosophical potential of such an expansion; and presents a unique chain of being — from elementary information to the totality of all possible worlds.

Nikola Kajtez received his PhD in philosophy at the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Belgrade, Serbia, in 2002. He is the founder and President of the Serbian Philosophical Forum, Editor-in Chief of the journal Filosofeme, and President of the National Library of Serbia’s board of directors. Kajtez is a participant in the Contemporary Philosophy Project of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, and was the winner of the “Laza Kostić” award for philosophy in 2005 and the “Special Book Recognition” of the International Belgrade Book Fair in 2017.

"Entropy and Creativity is a unique book by a philosopher with a deep understanding of physics, but its content goes far beyond physics and the natural sciences... This work should be required reading for all intellectuals!"
- Dr Branko Kolarić, FRSC Full Research Professor at the Institute of Physics, University of Belgrade, Serbia, and Visiting Professor and Research Associate at the Department of Physics, University of Mons, Belgium
"Dr Nikola Kajtez has positioned entropy and creativity as new philosophical categories! He has expanded the scale of civilization as defined by Nikolai Kardashev and Carl Sagan along with deepening the understanding of the anthropic principle and paradigm concept. He has provided a layered explanation/solution of the Fermi Paradox, and an expansion and correction of the parameters of the Drake Equation. Through this, he provides an understanding of the singularity outside the traditional scope of this term and points out the philosophical potential of such an expansion! Also presented are the exact equations that explain the nature of creativity and the concept of universal evolutionism/synergetics. This book is an epistemological tool and it is a fantastic contribution to contemporary society/mankind!"
- Professor R. M. Vasagam Outstanding Scientist of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Former Vice Chancellor of Anna University and Dr. M.G.R. University, India, and Former Chairman of the National Design and Research Forum (NDRF), India
"This is an interesting, stimulating and inspiring book, addressing a plethora of aspects and facets of the entities “entropy” and “creativity” and their interconnections in the frame of a large number of philosophical and scientific fields. Consequently, this philosophical work touches on a very great number of human endeavors, activities, mental structures, and discoveries. The book is well written and appropriately formulated, so that it should be accessible to a variety of scientific communities in the broad spectrum of human activities between physical and philosophical disciplines."
- Aris Chatzidimitriou-Dreismann Researcher at the Department of Chemistry, Technische Universität Berlin, Germany
"Entropy and Creativity by Nikola Kajtez, a great genius on the rise, is a revolutionary masterpiece! The author demonstrates a wealth of knowledge and experience and a deep understanding of the nature of the universe, and his insights are enlightening. This work is of historical importance and cannot be overestimated. It will, I am sure, be the foundation for entropy and creativity researchers around the world! It will be used as a unique source of knowledge in advanced civilizations and will become part of the academic curricula."
- Dr K. Gopalakrishnan Secretary General, Indian Technology Congress Association; Project Director, 75 Students’ Satellites Mission; and Professor Emeritus, Cambridge Institute of Technology, India
