Ludwig van Bertalanffy

Ludwig von Bertalanffy was a scientist who developed the General System Theory, which views complex systems—like biological organisms, ecosystems, or even social structures—as unified wholes rather than just a collection of parts. His work emphasizes that these systems are dynamic, with parts working together and exchanging information, energy, or matter to maintain stability or adapt. This approach helps us understand how different systems evolve, function, and interact, offering a broad perspective that bridges fields like biology, psychology, engineering, and more. His ideas promote holistic thinking about the interconnectedness of systems in nature and society.
