Can Systems Theory be applied to the fusion of medicine and science?

[Dr Alain L Fymat]

General systems theory is an important means of controlling and instigating the transfer of principles from one field to another, and it will no longer be necessary to duplicate or triplicate the discovery of the same principle in different fields isolated from each other. At the same time, by formulating exact criteria, general systems theory will guard against superficial analogies, which are useless in science (see, e.g., Ludwig von Bertalanffy, 1968).

Whereas the above idea can yield a systemic conception of life, mind and consciousness that transcends disciplinary boundaries, and indeed holds the promise of unifying various fields of study that were formerly separated, it can offer an ideal conceptual framework for unifying various scientific disciplines that have become isolated and fragmented such as medicine.and science. In a more limited scope, I believe this idea can initially be used to unify some medical and scientific concepts.
