In addition, he proposes two subsequent epistemes [snips from each].
The Ontological, Epistemological, Logocentric episteme
with "lineage" of:
> Kant ---------> Husserl -------> Process Approach
The anti-ontological, anti-epistemological, meta-systemic,
general economic episteme with "lineage" of:
> Bohr -------> M. Henry -------> Meta-systemic Approach
To follow this thread further I realize I have about 6 mos. of reading to
do. But before I go off to the library, let me ask this:
If Learning Org concepts have evolved from the "systemic" episteme,
how are the Process and Meta-systemic Approaches described above
likely to impact Learning Org and Systems Thinking concepts in the
future? i.e., Since L-O and ST concepts have become cornerstones of
the practice theories of many who haunt these airways, what
predictions can you offer us re: how L-O and ST concepts will
evolve as these "post-systemic" ways of thinking weave their way
into management thinking?

Is that really true? Ad infinitum? With never an anti-nihilistic swing of
the philosophic pendulum? And some have called Systems Thinking the dismal
science...
Thanks again for furthering my thinking.
