Customized
complementary word & issue index for
C. West Churchman "The Design of Inquiring Systems: Basic Concepts of
Systems and Organization". (New York: Basic Books, 1971)
This word & issue index is customized to the purpose of fostering wider and
deeper applications of a social dialectical systems approach. It is intended
to
be used in conjunction with the wordindex published in the book. Issue-indexing
implies that even if the particular word does not appear on the referenced
page, either a synonym, an associated, or analogue issue does. Additional
explanatory material related to the same philosophical background can be found
at the following URL's http://www.informatik.umu.se/~kivanov,
http://projects.isss.org/Main/CWestChurchman,
and http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/~gem.
Parenthesized page numbers, italics, and bold face types in the text below
indicate an increasing degree of relevance and importance. Words referenced
after the abbreviation "cf.", and whose radicals are not found in the
index as is the case for words put within parentheses, point to entries in the
book's own index or in Webster's Third New International Dictionary
(unabridged) or in specialized dictionaries of the fields of information
science and philosophy of science.
The purpose of presenting this index to a wider audience is to allow for a
starting point for deeper and wider inquiries in a research tradition that
allows for broad systemic relations between disciplinary areas and key notions
as they appear in the index. The claim is that this book contributes to the
establishment of a time-stable theoretical conceptual ground, or a
"language" which Ð close to the tradition of philosophical pragmatism
Ð facilitates communication among researchers who work in different schools of
thought and areas of application. In particular this initiative aims at
facilitating Ð in one same research organization Ð that every researcher be
able to contribute to the work of colleagues by means of the easier initial
understanding afforded by an tentative initial set of shared concepts which may
be argumentatively modified or rejected in the further course of a particular
inquiry.
In its present version the list includes a few words and names of individuals
belonging to our staff. These names, which are followed by an asterisk (*), can
be used by guests and colleagues outside our community in order to identify
areas of interest of our staff, and their familiarity with particular authors
(proper names) included at the end of their entry. This can give a partial
orientation on the scientific and philosophical background of our local
research.
This index can also be used for computerized searches of key words by means of
the "Find" feature of word processors, and for this purpose it is
available (document name <Chu-71 DIS-Index>) in a folder (<Ivanov to
share> in <Gemesamma original> in <Diverse>) on the research
server in the department's network jupiter.informatik.umu.se. It is also
available through the World-Wide-Web at http://www.informatik.umu.se/~kivanov/chuindex.pdf or at http://www.informatik.umu.se/~kivanov/chuindex.html.
