ABSTRACT

It is more than 15 Years since the writer has first presented, to a larger public, the proposal of a General System Theory. Since then, this conception has been widely discussed and was applied in numerous fields of science. When an early reviewer found himself “hushed into awed silence” by the idea of a General System Theory, now in spite of obvious limitations, different approaches and legitimate criticism, few would deny the legitimacy and fertility of the interdisciplinary systems approach.
