SYSTEMS THEORY AND HUMAN SCIENCE

摘要

In this paper, the relevance of system theory for modeling and investigating problem in human science and human centered systems as well as the mutual relationship between systems theory and human science are explored. It is not a completed research but rather ideas and thoughts which need further investigations. The cause and purpose myths and their impact in several fields are discussed through the use of the variational principle. The feasibility of phenomenalistic models and the potential and limitations of qualitative and quantitative results are discussed through examples of human learning, and human conformity behavior and a typical dictatorial political system. The need for combined application of scientific approach along with basic principles of ethics and religion to human centered systems is demonstrated. It is shown that the non-technical forces in terms of fairness and justice are rather essential in governing human centered systems and stabilizing their equilibria while avoiding conflicting situations.
