Erich Jantsch

Erich Jantsch (1929–1980) was an Austrian astrophysicist who wrote the book The Self-Organizing Universe: Scientific and Human Implications of the Emerging Paradigm of Evolution (1980). The Self-organizing Universe was influential among interdisciplinary proponents of biomimicry alternatives to understanding science like holism, co-evolution, and self-organization.
