商品描述

Introduces a new philosophy of systemic knowing and advances systems thinking, heralding the new paradigm of transmodern systems thinking
Offers a comprehensive examination of systems philosophy, hitherto missing in the systems literature - spanning a systemic ontology, suitable extended epistemology, and a discussion of applicable methods
Compares, reconciles and integrates, using compelling arguments, three longstanding divides: scientific rationalism and extended ways of knowing, theory and practice in management and social sciences, and Western and Eastern philosophy

作者簡介

Raghav Rajagopalan is an organisational and social development consultant from India, with experience in the diverse ways of knowing that the subcontinent has been famed for over centuries: practices such as yoga, meditation, various classical arts and handicrafts. Early in his career, his rural development practice required him to unlearn much of his formal professional training, and relearn significantly from diverse marginalized communities such as artisanal fisherfolk, tribal farmers and artisanal craftspersons, resulting in a discovery of the profound value of multiple ways of knowing. Raghav has a postgraduate specialization in Rural Management, followed by a doctorate in Systems Science, and is a Fellow of the Sumedhas Academy for Human Context, India. He was awarded the Margaret Mead Memorial Prize for an outstanding paper from his doctoral thesis at the 2014 International Society for the Systems Sciences Annual Conference in Washington DC.
