At the Intersection of Thoughts: Introduction to the System-Activity Approach

Methodology is the essence of any methods. Any tasks can be solved according to a general scheme and common principles, and the development of these principles was carried out under the guidance of Georgy Petrovich Shchedrovitsky by the Moscow Methodological... Circle, established in 1958. As a result, the system-activity approach was formulated—a new scheme for joint problem-solving, including in conditions where the information is insufficient. Since 1979, based on this approach, organizational-activity games (OAD) have been held, which became a tool for training group interaction in any practical field.
This book introduces the reader to the main concepts of Georgy Petrovich Shchedrovitsky's methodology, and it is worth starting from it for a deeper study of his multi-volume legacy.
