Systems Theories and Evolutionary Transactions after A.A. Bogdanov
Abstract
The article focuses on the major work of the Russian medical scientist and system theorist Alexander Bogdanov, Tektology, the general science of organization. Concepts formulated by Bogdanov in 1920ies are examined from the standpoint of modern advances in systemic and cybernetic approach. It is shown that Bogdanov’s pioneering approach led him to emphasize the process of «emergent transaction» as key issue for understanding complex systems’ activities and going beyond the classical concept of interaction of components still dominant in the discourse on Systems Theory throughout the 20th Century.
