The concept of “system” and aspects of its study in philosophy and science

Abstract

The meaning of the term “system” has clearly stated value. However, its use in completely different contexts leads to paradoxical errors – inability to choose the right set of concepts that describe the system. The article presents various aspects of study and description of the system, their analysis is provided. The need to highlight the philosophical aspects for studying the system is related to the increase and expansion of the range of its use. Every aspect allows focusing the researcher’s attention on the diverse fragments of reality that brings to life the necessary framework of concepts to describe the system. The chosen aspect “sets” the conceptual apparatus to describe the system. The author also describes the possible philosophical reflections of the control phenomenon in each of the aspects.
