Abstract
This is a further installment of a series of articles which attempts to trace the development of the modern inquiring system. It follows an idea of C. West Churchman [2], and is a sequel to several previous installments of this series [11,12, 14]. In this case, the survey refers neither to an ancient nor to a contemporary philosopher, but to a poet and novelist, who started to write at the turn of the century. The concept of ‘modern inquiring system’, defined by van Gigch in [14] as ‘a system dedicated to the acquisition and production of knowledge and to the solution of contemporary systems problems’ will have to be expanded in the present instance to apply not only to ‘knowledge’, but rather to ‘wisdom’, to ‘consciousness’, to ‘spiritual force’, to systemic ‘feeling’ in addition to ‘thinking’. See also [13].
