Introduction to Systems Philosophy

First Published in 1972 Introduction to Systems Philosophy presents Ervin Laszloâs first comprehensive volume on the subject. It argues for a systematic and constructive inquiry into natural phenomenon on the assumption of general order in nature. Laszlo says systems philosophy reintegrates the concept of enduring universals with transient processes within a non-bifurcated hierarchically differentiated realm of invariant systems as the ultimate actualities of self-structuring nature. He brings themes like the promise of systems philosophy; theory of natural systems; empirical interpretations of physical biological and social systems; frameworks for philosophy of mind philosophy of nature ontology epistemology metaphysics and normative ethics to showcase the timeliness and necessity of a return from analytic to synthetic philosophy. This book is an essential read for any scholar and researcher of philosophy philosophy of science and systems theory. . Language: English
