Abstract

This paper is a short essay that claims that a systemic problem cannot be rightly understood and even less solved on the same level, in the same framework or with the same tools that entail the very same problem. This is a radical variation of Einstein’s idea set out in the context of the Copenhaguen debate according to which a problem cannot be solved if we do not change the conditions in which the problem arose originally. More exactly, a systemic problem cannot be tackled and solved with tools, approaches and rods of the very same kind, level, nature of framework that define the problem. To truly tackle and solve any problem, the approach, tools, concepts, models, and the like need have a higher or heavier calibre so to speak than the problem. Otherwise, we do not solve a problem at all. At its best, we displace it. This essay argues that to solve any systemic problem a complexity endeavour is needed. Reasons for the insufficiency of systems science and about the rationale of complexity theory are provided.
系统性问题无法通过系统解决
本文是一篇短文,声称一个系统性问题不可能被正确理解,更不可能在同一个层面上,在同一个框架下,或者用同样的工具来解决同样的问题。这是爱因斯坦在哥本哈根辩论中提出的观点的根本变化,根据爱因斯坦的观点,如果我们不改变问题最初产生的条件,问题就无法解决。更确切地说,一个系统性问题不可能用定义问题的框架的相同类型、级别和性质的工具、方法和工具来处理和解决。要真正处理和解决任何问题,方法、工具、概念、模型等都需要比问题本身更高或更重的水准。否则,我们根本解决不了问题。最好的情况是,我们取代了它。本文认为,要解决任何系统性问题,都需要对复杂性进行努力。提出了系统科学不足的原因和复杂性理论的基本原理。

期刊介绍: Cinta de Moebio publishes scientific articles and essays on epistemology of social science. The editorial experience of the magazine indicates that some academics send articles of philosophy, but of issues that are not related to the social sciences, as well as academics who sent the results of their research or projects in the social sciences, but its focus is not epistemology, which also are geared out to the purpose of the journal. The journal, put it in some way, it is in the dialogue of philosophy with social science and, therefore, both domains must be present in the articles.
