Understanding the meaning behind the complex formulas of scientists is more important today than ever before: the holistic and integrative revolutions at the end of this century is as rapid and profound as the Einsteinian and Quantum revolution was at its beginning.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Very philosophical
    Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    This was more about the philosophy of systems theory than how systems work and how to work with them, which is what I was looking for. So I skimmed it and found it thoughtful but far more abstract than what I was looking for (I guess I've done my philosophy for now!). And in many ways it was really about a philosophy of life, not just systems, and how we need to evolve our way of approaching life. But I already knew that and what he added was not all that new at least to me. It was helpful to understand that looking at life from a systems point of view is part of the evolution in our thinking that is going on and supports the new way of thinking holistically about ecology, politics, economics, religion, etc., etc. Of course this way of thinking holistically is simply rediscovering the interconnectedness of all beings and things that the Buddha taught and that is embedded in the ancient wisdoms of many native people who live close enough to life and nature to see this daily. We have come so far we need to rediscover it and relearn how to live in this way. For this perspective on systems theory I found the book worthwhile.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Understanding What a Systems View is and Means
    Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    I bought this early book by Ervin Laszlo since it preceeds his later writing about the Akashic Field. I have done system science for many decades (including the system design of the Canadarm on the US Space Shuttle) and yet learned many new concepts. No wonder Ervin was compelled to follow on and, thanks to that, identified the concept of a Field of Consclousness that is the source of all that is. He may have written later books that would compete for the honour but I think that this book should be the one used to introduce scientists of all types to what system science really means. With this well under one's belt we would all do better science.

    I enjoyed reading this book which elaborates on systems theory and natural systems. I only wish the politics could be left out. I am interested in the science not the liberal slant characteristic of academia.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Insightful book for scientists and non-scientists alike
    Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2011
    I first learned about Systems Thinking during a graduate program in education, although as a former pre-Socratic philosophy student the ideas are not new or overly challenging--they seem quite natural. In this particular work Laszlo focuses on the actual theory and how it can be applied, starting on the cellular level and ending up on the human relationship level. As a non-physicist I appreciated his way of using real-life examples to explain the theory. Another little gem, at the end, is Laszlo's discussion on the age old question of what separates humans from other animals. I found his conclusion much more plausible than Chomsky's! I won't tell you what it is because I don't want to give it away. Let's just say it's been something that's been bugging me for years. The guy is a deep thinker, a hard worker, and I believe he has been studying this field since the 50's. What more could you ask for?

    I went ahead and read his most recent (I think) book Macroshifts. Very different from this one, also very interesting.
