Abstract
In the foregoing chapter, Andrew Basden has offered a framework to understand the complexity of real life. He argues that real life is complex at a very fundamental level: reality unfolds itself in many different aspects and dimensions, for example, physical, formative, social, economic, juridical and moral. He shows that engineers have to understand this complexity in order to design meaningful solutions.
