Abstract

The emergence of Systems Science does not constitute a rejection of traditional scientific and humanistic disciplines. It supplements them with a new way of thinking that is better suited than they to deal with large-scale societal problems. It offers us some hope of dealing successfully with such problems as poverty, racial and other types of discrimination, crime, environmental deterioration, and underdevelopment of countries. Systems Science may not only be able to assure man of a future, but it may also enable him to gain control of it.
