Abstract
This book uses soft systems thinking as its foundation. We introduce each of the systems thinking scholars and their contributions to the reader, from Aristotle to modern times.
What is a system? As any poet knows, a system is a way of looking at the world. A system is a point of view—natural for a poet, yet terrifying for a scientist!
Gerald Weinberg, systems scientist and computer scientist
