ABSTRACT

This chapter shows several avenues in which human inquiry complexifies as a natural and orderly process, when inquirers seek more than a superficial awareness of systemic changes in the human activity system of which they are part. It discusses specific forms of complexification pertaining to human inquiry. Complexification and complication are complementary in the same sense that presumption and prejudice, challenge and problem, opportunity and crisis, large and fat, disassemble and destroy, and solitude and loneliness have semantic overlap. The disciplinarity scheme is to be incorporated into the complexification of research in macro level considerations of human inquiry for systemic change. To actualize systemic change through praxis and inquiry usually necessitates long range thinking in research in terms of project management and programmatic research. The broadening of human inquiry to social contexts can be conveyed through an examination of the web of human relationships that surround and embed a research project.
