Abstract

In recent years, systems in the real world have become larger and more complex, and the purposes of the systems have become more demanding and increasingly diverse. It is, therefore, urgent to build systems approaches that create new systems engineering and science. Recently, it was pointed out that it is important to take boundaries and relationalities as perspectives in order to build a systems approach. In this chapter, the author considers what it means to think of a system from the viewpoint of boundaries and relationalities, and what it brings about, and also looks forward to a path towards the construction of a systems approach that takes these perspectives.
