Strange Birds from Zoroaster's Nest

Farhat-Holzman, Laina

In a revolutionary understanding of action, identity, and part/whole relationships, "The Fractal Self" simultaneously defines and is defined by a complex, interdependent system. Seemingly isolated individuals are not only reflections of, but also intimately reflected in, the natural environment. As demonstrated in the title essay by David Jones and John Culliney, it is a notion that draws heavily upon classical Daoism as well as contemporary Chaos Theory.
