This book is dedicated to the consolidation and to the expansion of
theoretic systems thinking as a necessary integration of the
general reductionist and analytical attitude dominant in our
culture. Reductionism and analytical approaches have produced
significant results in many fields of contemporary knowledge giving
a great contribution to relevant scientific discoveries and to
their technological application, but their validity has been
improperly universalized as the only and best methods of knowledge
in every domain. It is nowadays clear that analytical or
mereological approaches are inadequate to solve many problems and
that we should introduce - or support the diffusion of - new
concepts and different research attitudes. A good candidate to
support such a shift is the well known theoretical approach based
on the concept of "system" that no more considers the elementary
constituents of an object, but the entity emerging from the
relations and interactions among its elementary parts. It becomes
possible to reconstruct several domains, both philosophical and
scientific, from the systemic point of view, introducing fresh
ideas in the research in view of a general rational vision of the
world on more comprehensive basis. This book contributes to the
diffusion and evolution of systemic thinking by focusing on two
main objectives: developing and updating the systemic approach in
disciplines currently using it and introducing the systemic
perspective in humanistic disciplines, where the approach is not
widely used. The Systemic Turn in Human and Natural Sciences: A
Rock in the Pond is comprised of ten chapters. The chapter authors
adopt a trans-disciplinary perspective, consisting in the
recognition and harmonization of the special outlooks that
together, within the general systemic paradigm, gives an ideal
unity to the book.
