Book excerpt: This book deals with the contribution of a systems approach to a range of disciplines from philosophy and biology to social theory and management.

In doing so it creates a coherent path from fundamental work on philosophical issues of ontology and epistemology through specific domains of knowledge about the nature of information and meaning, human communication, and social intervention.
