This work addresses the topic of philosophical complexity which shares certain assumptions with scientific complexity cybernetics and General Systems Theory but which is also developing as a subject field in its own right. Specifically the post-structural reading of philosophical complexity that was pioneered by Paul Cilliers is further developed in this study. To this end the ideas of a number of contemporary French post-structural theorists and their predecessors - including Derrida Nancy Bataille Levinas Foucault Saussure Nietzsche Heidegger and Hegel - are introduced. The implications that their various insights hold for our understanding of complex human systems are teased out at the hand of the themes of economy (social) ontology subjectivity epistemology and ethics. The analyses are also illuminated at the hand of the problematic of the foreigner and the related challenges of showing hospitality to foreigners. The study presents a sophisticated account of both philosophical complexity and philosophies of difference. By relating these subject fields the study also extends our understanding of philosophical complexity and offers an original characterisation of the aforementioned philosophers as complex thinkers.
