Understanding System Dynamics with Eastern Philosophy

摘要

In this paper, I discuss how to teach system dynamics and systems thinking from the perspective of the eastern philosophy, especially in Korea and China. Based on my experience of teaching system dynamics to Korean people for 15 years, 1 present some kind of fundamental similarities and linking pins between eastern philosophy and system dynamics. Presentation of their similarity usually provided Korean students a kind of familiar feeling with the system dynamics and facilitated their understanding of its key concepts. Also I explain my experience on presenting research outcomes of system dynamics to Koreans with the help of linking pins between system dynamics and eastern philosophy.
