Riassunto:

"The Systems Approach and Its Enemies" (C West Churchman, 1979) is one of Churchman's most significant works. In this particular writing he displayed two main tendencies, that he was a Skeptic and that he showed Socratic Wisdom. This book follows up on these two themes and reveals how modern authors interpret Churchman's ideas.
