"He [Bertanlaffey] came to believe that the General Systems Theory, an expanded version of the Open Systems Theory provided the needed conceptual framework for the basic unity of human knowledge, for the unity of natural sciences and humanities." ... "An organism was a system of complex biochemical reactions. A society was a system of communication patterns and institutions, while a culture was a system of symbols. The systems theory was applicable to physiological, psychological and sociological phenomena. Physical, mental and social events may appear to be intrinsically different, however they are organized in systems, which are governed by the same set of systemic laws. The unity of systems is the basis of the unity of nature in spite of the kaleidoscopic motley of external appearances."
