Abstract
In this article, findings of chaos theory are explained and extrapolated to social dynamics. Henceforth all social theory must be change theory. Chaos findings demonstrate that natural systems are fractal in their ontology and nonlinear in their dynamics; that bifurcations cascade to transform dynamic states; that near-to-stable dynamics are possible given specific interactions between members of a set. Chaos findings decenter all claims of perfection, finality, normality or historical necessity and thus provides an elegant theoretical envelop in which to locate postmodern science and politics. In social terms, near-to-stable systems embodying the ethics and aesthetics of a praxis society are possible if destabilizing bifurcations in wealth, power and status are avoided. The postmodern quest in emancipatory social science is a search for those attractors which produce an infinite number of near-to-stable iterations of social dynamics congenial to praxis.
