Alexander Bogdanov’s “Organizational Point of View” and Its Development by the Moscow Methodological Circle in the Context of V. S. Stepin’s Typology of Rationality

This paper is a continuation of our presentation at the First Stepin’s Readings, which was devoted to the view on V. S. Stepin’s typology of scientific rationality from the standpoint of a contemporary systems approach. In the context of this view, we reconstruct the content and show the meaning of the “organizational point of view” as a methodological principle of Bogdanov's Tektology, which introduces a systemic dimension into scientific thinking and opens the way to overcoming the disciplinary division of sciences and restoring the systemic unity of knowledge. Further, we show the development of the “organizational point of view” as a methodological principle of systems thinking in the Moscow Methodological Circle (MMC) and the transdisciplinary practices of collective problem-solving based on it.
