Mulej´s Dialectical Systems Theory — A proven next step after Bertalanffy´s General Systems Theory

Ludwig von Bertalanffy (1978, p. VII) explicitly stated that he had created his General Systems Theory against over-specialization, i.e. to support interdisciplinary creative cooperation as the best way toward the necessary holism of approach and wholeness of outcomes of human activity. But he did not support this intention methodologically a lot. The now-a-days usual narrow over-specialization provides for no/poor humans capacity of interdisciplinary creative cooperation. Earlier it was much less dangerous than today, as the current socio-economic crisis shows. Narrow specialization is still necessary, but equally so is the other specialists´ capacity: cooperation helps humans prevent oversights and resulting failures, because it enables more holistic thinking/behavior. But there are very few humans around the world, who can/may teach holistic thinking. The role of the narrow specializations which is unavoidable is so strong that people hardly see that holistic thinking - enabled by interdisciplinary creative cooperation - makes specialization of any profession much more beneficial than any operation inside a specialization alone. Nobody, whatever their profession, can live well without co-operation with people of other professions. De Bono´s `6 Thinking Hats´ support it, so does Mulej´s Dialectical Systems Theory (DST) from the same period of time. Both of them have been fruitfully applied all four decades since.
