Does order evolve from chaos or vice versa?

Question

Or am I just overly-medicated?

Answer 1

well: basically yes of course that is "Philosophy also it

Answers Arts & Humanities only  "

Answer 2

Some order coagulates out of chaos, but this is just a temporary stop on the way to the final "heat death" of the universe. Thanks to the second law of thermodynamics we can all take comfort in knowing that any trace of order is actually a hastening of total cataclysmic failure.

Answer 3

It is a circle. Each evolves (or devolves) from each.

Answer 4

order from chaos, just look at how solar systems, galaxies, etc. are formed. and you are prob over medicated too.

Answer 5

I really depends on what school of thought you look to.

There are those that believe chaos is the creation of rebellion against order.

There are those who believe that chaos is the natural state of humanity and that we work for order.

There are those who believe that humans are naturally orderly and that chaos comes from something else.

I am overly-medicated so I have time to think about all this.

[just kidding]

Answer 6

Order and chaos coexist.  

The razor's edge appears perfectly straight until observed under magnification which shows that it's jagged.  The point is that order and chaos are two sides of the same coin, perfectly interwoven.  The difference between them is simply a matter of perspective.  

This is a real fact demonstrated mathematically and described by Gleick in the book "Chaos".  It is also a well-known philosophical principle expressed symbolically as yin-yang.

Answer 7

According to the laws of thermodynamics, all matter tends toward entropy (disorder) and not the other way around.

Answer 8

Think of the chaos between Uranus and his son Cronus.

Cronus castrated his father because of some chaotic argument between the father and mother, the balls were thrown into the ocean and out came a beautiful woman

aphrodite.
