Systems thinking is a discipline for seeing wholes. It is a framework for seeing interrelationships rather than things, for
seeing patterns of change rather than static "snapshots." It is a set of general principles -- distilled over the course of
the twentieth century, spanning fields as diverse as the physical and social sciences, engineering, and management.... During
the last thirty years, these tools have been applied to understand a wide range of corporate, urban, regional, economic,
political, ecological, and even psychological systems. And systems thinking is a sensibility -- for the subtle
interconnectedness that gives living systems their unique character.

thrust our world into a mental straitjacket from which we can only escape by the most anarchic violence.

Science is the tool of the Western mind and with it more doors can be opened than with bare hands. It is part and parcel of
