Ludwig von Bertalanffy

Ludwig von Bertalanffy was an Austrian biologist known for founding General Systems Theory in the 20th century. He believed that complex systems, whether in biology, psychology, or social sciences, cannot be fully understood by just analyzing their individual parts. Instead, he emphasized the importance of looking at how these parts interact within the whole system. His ideas have had a significant impact across various fields, promoting a more holistic approach to understanding the interconnections and relationships that define complex systems in nature and society.
