An Introduction to Systems Science (Hardcover)

Description

This is the first book that renders a thorough discussion of systems science. It draws on material from an extensive collection of external sources, including several other books and a special library collection complete with videotape empirical evidence of applicability of the theory to a wide variety of circumstances. This is essential because systems science must be responsive to diverse human situations of the widest difficulty, and it must fill the void that the specific sciences cannot fill, because these sciences are insensitive to the necessities of reconciling disparate views of multiple observers, and incorporating local conditions in hypotheses that precede inductive explorations.

描述

這是第一本全面討論系統科學的書籍。它借鑒了大量來自外部資源的材料，包括其他幾本書和一個特殊的圖書館收藏，其中包含了視頻證據，證明了該理論在各種情況下的應用性。這是必要的，因為系統科學必須對最困難的各種人類情況做出反應，並且必須填補特定科學無法填補的空白，因為這些科學對於調和多個觀察者的不同觀點以及在歸納探索之前納入當地條件的必要性不敏感。
