THEORETICAL BACKGROUND
- Why The System Theory ?
a. It can offer an analytic, deductive system that is unified syntactically and semantically over all the sciences from biology to economics and from mathematics to sociology.
b. It is able to create an interface between science and humanities (Edge Foundation, www.edge.com)
c. It creates an evolutionary theory of global society and is able to grasp the flow of communication.
d. It becomes the theory of communication flows in global society itself. Relationship between globus and Mundus
e. It can model and simulate alternative and other possible scenarios (Terna, 2006)
f. It creates a science-based and knowledge-intensive policymaking.
