Wikipedia:WikiProject Systems/List of forms of systems theory

This list is being further developed as List of types of systems theory

This list gives an overview of different forms of systems theory, which are metioned in scientific book titles or articles.[1] The following more than 40 types of systems theory are all explicitly named systems theory and represent an own unique conceptual framework in a specific field of science:

  • Abstract systems theory [2]
  • Applied multidimensional systems theory [5]
  • Associated systems theory [7]
  • Behavioral systems theory [8]
  • Complex systems theory [11]: The term complex systems theory seems to be used very little in the titles of scientific books and articles, see also complex system.
  • Computer-aided systems theory [12]
  • Distributed parameter systems theory [16]
  • Electric energy systems theory [21]
  • Infinite dimensional systems theory [25]
  • Large scale systems theory [26]
  • Liberating systems theory [27]
  • Macrosystems theory [31]
  • Mathematical systems theory [32]
  • Medical ethics systems theory, [33]
  • Modeling systems theory [34]
  • Modern control systems theory [35]
  • Modern systems theory [36]
  • Multidimensional systems theory [37]
  • Nonlinear stochastic systems theory [38]
  • Retrieval system theory [41]
  • Transit systems theory [44]

Crawley states, that the students Eric Dent studied forms of systems theory and came up with a set of concepts that he thought marked off systems theory approaches from earlier science. Dent identified eight concepts:
  • holism rather than analysis or reductionism,
  • relationships rather than entities,
  • interaction with environment as opposed to closed or isolated systems,
  • indeterminism as opposed to predictability,
  • circular casual loops rather than linear casuality,
  • self organization, observation as part of or directly related to systems, and
  • reflexivity or interaction between a system and what is known about it.
Witherspoon states, that "the rise of abstract art and the development of various systems theories have an important parallel. Abstract art goes beyond the recognition of entity or image and focuses attention on interaction and interrelatedness, striving to uncover and reveal holistic essences. Systems theories have tried to get us beyond linear cause and effect notions and tried to get us to think of phenomena in terms of interaction and interrelationship. It is interesting and significant that abstract art and quantum theory arose at about the same time. Both of these developments preceded the application of various forms of systems theory to the social and biological sciences. Scientific insight and conceptualization have paralleled artistic imagination and aesthetic formulation."
Hakken speaks about various additive forms of systems theory in Western anthropology in the 1980s and 1990s: "dual", "tri", "quadra", etc. (e.g., "race and class", "gender, race, and class," "sexual orientation, gender, race, and class").
As forms of systems theory Berndtson mentions: general systems theory, cybernetics, systems analysis and functionalism.
