The volume is particularly addressed to the human sciences. It aims
to show that these sciences could greatly profit from reframing
their problems in the moved spirit of systems theory. The
individual sections concern: 1, general systems; 2, semiotics; 3,
knowledge and cognition; 4, culture; 5, music; 6, language; 7,
literature - 29 authors - among whom one finds e.g. M. Bunge, H.
Haken, G. Klit, E. Laszlo, B. Nicolescmu, F. Wuketitis etc - deal
with systems in general, they show the application of systems
concepts and ideas in individual human sciences, they advance a
number of models and hypotheses and offer concrete examples. The
volume yields an extensive survey of the history of systems
thinking in different sciences and is an excellent state of the art
for all pertinent disciplines. It covers relevant concepts as
self-organization, evolution, chaos, synergetics, complexity,
information, law, theory, cognition, and model building. This
collection of essays bears testimony to the mutual penetration and
cross-fertilization of all sciences. It is an pioneering enterprise
dispensing with the idea of priority of the natural sciences over
the human sciences. It closes our century and comes up with a
research programme for the next one.
