posted on 2024-11-01, 10:50 authored by Yoland Wadsworth
This paper reports on a breakthrough in thinking based on 33 years of field practice-based inquiry and previously published studies. It brings together several bodies of established and emerging thought including systems thinking, epistemology, psychology and sociology, in a way of thinking about the living fabric of complex human systems-inprocess. It is offered here as a kind of transdisciplinary `Rosetta stone¿ to those working around the world with one or more of these bodies of thought as a way of making some critical connections between them. In summary, an integrating `mental architecture¿ is proposed whereby inquiry (research as an evaluative dynamic act of seeking) may be seen as the way by which living (notably human) systems come alive, and which is incorporated, organ-ised, `structured¿ and relationally embodied in an individual and their psychological mind as personal process, and in social collectivities and their sociological organisation as cultural process.
