Baskin, Ken

Institute for the Study of Coherence and Emergence, Mansfield

Fellow with the Institute for the Study of Coherence and Emergence, writes and speaks about the emerging worldview, reflecting the changed understanding of our world provided by sciences such as quantum mechanics and neurobiology, and its effects on social sciences. His approach to Big History is grounded in the dynamics explored in complexity theory, as in the book he is currently writing with Dr. Dmitri Bondarenko on Modernity as a second Axial Age. His recent essays have appeared in such publications as Social Evolution and History, Chinese Management Studies, and the Journal of Change Management. His book Corporate DNA: Learning from Life, translated into Chinese, explores how one can think of organizations as living things, rather than machines.
