Video clips from a course titled “Resolving Complexity in Organizations” that Warfield taught at George Mason University during the 1999 Spring Semester. This clip is from the fifth session which met on 27 February 1999. The clip shows Warfield talking about the “history of thought” and a group of philosophers he calls the “thought leaders” who have influenced his work. He identifies Aristotle and Charles S. Peirce as two men who have been particularly important…
