ALWYN C. SCOTT

1931 - 2007

We regret to announce the passing of CCS co-founder Al Scott

after a long illness. Al was a wonderful man and a good friend

who pioneered nonlinear science and  emergence

and applied them to the study of consciousness.

.

Al’s book “Stairway to the Mind” is the classic work on

emergence of consciousness, and his last book

“The nonlinear universe” will appear later this year.

Al is survived by his loving wife Lynn MacNeill, daughter

Leila and sons Emmon and Alwyn Jr.
