Characterized as “civilizational crisis,” the period in which we live is also seen as the end of history, empire, the nation state, neo-liberalism, the end of Europe, and the end of the world system. In another framework we are living in a Chaordic Age where the science of complexity—the behavior of self-governing organisms (organizations or systems)—harmoniously or disharmoniously blend the characteristics of order + chaos, and is neither hierarchical nor anarchic. It can be characterized positively and negatively, but it is an unstable, uncertain, and transitional age with no clear sets of rules. A particular scientific world view has become dominant, influential, and successful in modern sciences today. Science and technology have transformed the way we view ourselves, our societies, and our place in the cosmos. However, just as science and technology seem to be at the peak of their power, unexpected problems are disrupting the sciences from within. This reflects a deeper and more serious problem regarding scientific inquiry. Science is being held back by old assumptions that have become dogmas, the biggest of which is that science already knows all the answers, and only the details need to be worked out. A transformational paradigm shift is required from a mechanistic world view to an organic world view to better address the challenges of the new millennium. The question to social scientists in this chaordic age of discontinuities is, how do we renew our increasingly marginalized disciplines, with inter- and trans-disciplinary research that redefines our key terms and provides alternatives to the challenges we face? How do we reinvent the social sciences today in order to become more relevant to the societies we serve?
