Not long time ago I came to the idea that, if I want to understand what Systems Thinking is about, a definition is not enough. And because I am here in the land of thinking about systems, a definition of Systems Thinking may put this concept in its epistemological place, among the other sciences and theories, but it does not provide me with speculative tools to gain a critical understanding of Systems Thinking. So, at the beginning of the research in this laboratory, for me, it is enough to pay attention that a system is a system of systems, and its understanding must be always a dynamic, analytic, synthetic but also speculative endeavor.
