Tektology. Universal Organizational Science

The classic work of an outstanding encyclopedic scholar — the first deep justification of the general theory of systems, intended, according to the author, "for all well-educated people of scientific and practical thought." A century later, it is of particular interest to those engaged in interdisciplinary research and the understanding of the historical experience of the 20th century, global problems, integrative concepts of natural science, socialist ideology, and "Russian cosmism." In addition to the main text, the new edition contains a number of little-known articles by A. A. Bogdanov with an application of the organizational approach to individual issues of economics, cultural studies, social forecasting, as well as the poem "Marsianin, abandoned on Earth."
The reissue also includes a biographical and historiographical essay by Prof. G.D. Glovely on various facets of A.A. Bogdanov's scientific legacy and an article by the organizer of the International Institute of A. Bogdanov, Prof. V.V. Popkov about the role of Bogdanov as the initiator of epistemological constructivism.
