Concepts of self-organization in the 19th century (1990)

Description “A short account of Helmholtz's `theory of signs' and Fechner's `principle of the tendency toward stability'. Why these two sets of ideas could not fuse during the 19th century, in contrast to today where they form the kernel of the concept of self-organization.” Author's abstract.
