Abstract

The quest for a scientific general systems theory formally started in the 1950s, but progress has been slow. In this chapter we introduce General Systemology, and discuss its origins in the 1950s and its subsequent history in the general systems movement. We discuss its potential and challenges, and outline the key steps needed to establish it as a useful academic discipline.

There might also be others, for example theories about how to interpret the general theory under various contexts or worldviews, about how systems arose in nature in the first place (if indeed systems are emergent and not in some sense primordial), about the completeness of GST*, and about strategies for discovering general systems principles .
