From Cognitive Limits to the Necessity of Coexistence: Analyzing the Roots of Conflict in Complex Societies

In a world shaped by rapid change, growing diversity, and rising social tensions, one critical question stands at the center of modern human experience:
Why do complex societies struggle to coexist despite their urgent need for unity?
This book offers a comprehensive and intellectually rich exploration of that question. It examines how the limitations of human cognition—particularly the sensory-driven mind—create simplified perceptions that fail to grasp the layered realities of multiethnic and multilingual societies.
These cognitive shortcuts produce invisible boundaries, reinforce stereotypes, and transform difference into a source of fear, mistrust, and ultimately, conflict.
Drawing on cutting-edge research in sociology, psychology, political science, and conflict studies, the book reveals how identity divisions are manufactured, how tensions escalate, and how conflicts are fueled by grievances, resource competition, and media-driven polarization. It exposes the structural and emotional engines behind modern conflicts and explains why mismanaging diversity leads to fragmentation.
What sets this work apart is its compelling redefinition of coexistence—not merely as a political slogan or moral ideal, but as a fundamental social architecture required for the survival of complex societies. The book provides readers with analytical tools to understand diversity, manage differences, rebuild trust, and transform pluralism into collective strength.
This is an essential read for academics, policymakers, researchers, and all readers interested in social cohesion, conflict resolution, and identity politics. Its clarity, depth, and interdisciplinary approach make it a powerful addition to digital bookstores, academic debates, and global platforms such as Apple Books.
This book is not just an explanation; it is an intellectual invitation to rethink the mind, society, and the future of coexistence itself.
A groundbreaking book that exposes the roots of conflict and reimagines coexistence for a changing world.
