“系统”概念辨析

On the Concept of “System”

对"系统"概念相对公认的定义是"相互关联的元素的集",逻辑上此系统概念的存在就要求有非系统的存在,而形式上系统概念无法完备地说明自身,物理上系统概念又不适用于包含不连通成分的事物。所以引入非系统概念将是必要的,系统概念所涉及的"元素"、"关联"、"集"其中任何一方若不满足定义,都意味着一类非系统的存在。引入非系统概念,进而超越系统一元论承认系统与非系统二元存在还有其重要的方法论价值、认识论意义和本体论基础。

It is generally acknowledged to define the concept of ＂system＂ as ＂a set of interrelated elements＂. The concept requires the existence of non- system in logic, can not completely explain itself in form, and does not apply to those containing unconnected components in physics. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce the concept of non-system. If any of the the conditions of ＂element＇!, ＂interrelated＂ and ＂set＂ in the definiton is not satisfied, a class of non-systems exist. It is of important methodological value, epistemological significance and ontological foundation to introduce the concept of non-system, and thus to go beyond system monism and recognize the dualistic existence of system as well as non-system.
