Title: Critical Heuristics of Social Planning
Subtitle: A New Approach to Practical Philosophy
First published: 1983
Description: Contemporary practical philosophy -- along with functionalistic "systems science" -- has failed to understand the critical significance of the systems idea. This study offers a new approach both to practical philosophy (which thus far has remained rathr unpractical) and to ssstems thinking (which has reduced to the systems idea to a tool of merely instrumental, rather than practical, reason).
Subjects: Practical philosophy, practical reason, philosophy of social planning, ethics, system analysis, critical systems thinking, critical systems heuristics, sociology of knowledge
