商品描述
The term 'systems theory' is used to characterize a set of disparate yet related approaches to fields as varied as information theory, cybernetics, biology, sociology, history, literature, and philosophy. What unites each of these traditions of systems theory is a shared focus on general features of systems and their fundamental importance for diverse areas of life. Yet there are considerable differences among these traditions, and each tradition has developed its own methodologies, journals, and forms of anaylsis. This book explores this terrain and provides an overview of and guide to the traditions of systems theory in their considerable variety.
The book draws attention to the traditions of systems theory in their historical development, especially as related to the humanities and social sciences, and shows how from these traditions various contemporary developments have ensued. It provides a guide for strains of thought that are key to understanding 20th century intellectual life in many areas.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
「系統理論」這個術語用來描述一組雖然各異但相關的研究方法，涵蓋了信息理論、控制論、生物學、社會學、歷史、文學和哲學等多個領域。這些系統理論傳統的共同點在於它們對系統的一般特徵及其對生活各個領域的重要性有著共同的關注。然而，這些傳統之間存在著相當大的差異，每個傳統都發展出了自己的方法論、期刊和分析形式。本書探討了這一領域，並提供了系統理論各種傳統的概述和指南。
本書關注系統理論在其歷史發展中的傳統，特別是與人文學科和社會科學的關聯，並展示了這些傳統如何導致當代各種發展。它提供了一個思潮的指南，這些思潮對於理解20世紀在許多領域的知識生活至關重要。
