(2003-02-07) Gary Metcalf Crit Social Sys Theory

Gary Metcalfe's Critique of Social System-s Theory. Hard science approaches and methods, such as those of physics, have continued as the standard by which all other disciplines are judged, despite the obvious failure of these in the social arenas. The development of an adequate and effective approach to social systems is likely to require the inclusion of other ways of knowing, possibly even more ancient approaches that were dismissed by science along the way. (Haven't read it yet, that quote sounds silly.)
