The book consolidates systems thinking as a new world-hypothesis
that is already suggesting itself behind the advancement of quantum
mechanics and Ashby's cybernetics. In particular, it shows how
Einstein's misgivings about quantum mechanics boil down to his
persistence in defending the principle of contiguity at the root of
the modern cosmology and, in relation to neo-cybernetics, the book
rediscovers Ashby's theory of adaptive behaviour enabling a new
synthesis between physiology, psychology and ethology that has
implications for systems practice. Furthermore, this new
"cosmology" comes with a new "anthropology" that informs utopics,
the science of utopic systems, and sheds new light on the actual
founding fathers of the domain of human science. In particular, the
book provides an understanding of how our human world works and how
it is being constituted by utopic systems that look into the future
to realize something possible. Finally, it points the way to the
future unification of knowledge bringing together systems
philosophy and systems science given that world-hypothesis is what
makes logically possible the development and consolidation of all
the different domains of science.
