Principles

De principes vormen het bindmiddel tussen de Sociale Theorie en de Foundation. Vanuit de ST wordt gerefereerd naar de principes om concepten en ideeën nader te verklaren. Een principe wordt beargumenteerd in de Foundation en toegelicht met een voorbeeld van 250 – 1000 woorden. De principes moeten nog verder worden aangescherpt tot een statement dat op zichzelf te begrijpen is. Het principe mag wel een beetje cryptisch zijn zodat de lezer daarover gaat nadenken (bijvoorbeeld: Principle: we have to become what we are not, and yet remain the same.). Als het principe dan in context en theorie wordt geplaatst komt hopelijk het inzicht.

De practices zijn uitgebreide verhalen, op te vatten als een experience of een case study, 1000 – 2500 woorden.

        Aspect: Systems Thinking

        Principle: MU, Principle page:


        Description Summary
        Systems thining is an interdisciplinary field, incorporating ideas from philosophy, mathematics, physics, sociology, biology, and many more, to develop an overarching theory to understand complex phenomena from different perspectives. It is about understanding the whole through its parts. However, the parts cannot be understood without the context of the whole. Systems thinking is the ability to understand and intervene in complex systems.

        Hard Systems Thinking – System DynamicsA system comprised of a number of interacting feedback loops is a complex system whose behavior can surprise us.
        Systems ThinkingA system as a whole is comprised of parts. Systems thinking is about understanding the interactions between the parts.
