    Author : Sebastian Arnström; [2023]
    Keywords : sustainability; sustainability science; complexity; complex adaptive systems; Earth system; Earth system science; resilience theory; the adaptive cycle; chaos theory; eco-theology;

    Abstract : This thesis is a critical review of two central theories in the modern sustainability paradigm – namely… (1) the theory that the Earth’s geosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere and atmosphere form a complex adaptive system – the Earth system, and (2) the theory that all human activities are intrinsically dependent on, and constrained by, non-anthropogenic states and processes in the Earth system. The thesis explains the origins and the logic of these theories, and subjects them to formal, semi-formal and comparative criticism. READ MORE
