The emergence of synergetics has been still ambiguously perceived in the scientific com-
munity. Some people talk about synergetics as a new paradigm in natural sciences, social
sciences and humanities, others on the contrary see nothing new in this science compar-
ing to the modern theory of nonlinear oscillations and waves. There are people believing
it to be only a rallying point and nothing more and expressing bewilderment about un-
healthy excitement caused by a new direction. Finally, the fourth consider synergetics to
be a new philosophy. Such a wide range of opinions allow us also to make some judg-
ments about some features of synergetics and its relationship with other sciences.
Keywords:
synergetics, entropy, self-organizing, open systems, accident, bifurcation,
frustration, complexity, chaos, virtual future
