Paradigm Change From the Systemic View to Systems Science

Abstract

A brief historical description of the ‘systemic view' is given with conclusion of its shortcomings and possible use. This ‘view' is placed in the context of ‘human intellectual endeavour' the constituents of which are evaluated briefly from the point of view of their role and usefulness to people in a society as means of problem solving which is a universal activity of living things. Conventional science of physics turns out to be the most significant constituent with the ‘systemic view' being of little consequence at the moment. Thus, a paradigm change towards a ‘systems science' to follow the methodology of conventional science is suggested and outlined. The new form of ‘systems science' could turn out to be also significant. ‘Systems science' through problem solving and design can act as a carrier for penetration into social awareness.
