Opening the Social Sciences by New Thinking in Complexity

This paper deals with the opening of the Social Sciences by new thinking in complexity, implying notions like generative complexity and hyper-complexity. This opening makes it possible to expand reality-as-we-know-it into a larger and more complex reality. Opening the Social Sciences means the opening of a new, nonlinear complex reality, opening a world of the possible, with new spaces of the possible. To make this possible we need to learn to read reality in a new way. By learning to do so, we may bridge to unknown territories within the scientific realms of our Social Sciences. The new thinking in complexity has the promise of humanizing the Social Sciences by taking the human being as a potential nonlinear being, with hitherto unknown complex states of human being within so-called 'state hyperspaces'.
