Proposing rhizomatic systems methodology: Extending Churchman's pragmatism to post-structuralism

초록

This paper seeks to appreciate the significance of Churchman's philosophy and a meta-theoretical level of an inquiring system, which can be developed from the reflexive learning on participatory action research. Extending Churchman's thought-from American pragmatism to post-structuralism, rhizomatic systems thinking is proposed. Rhizomatic systems methodology is described and demonstrated as an inquiring system, which facilitates the process of problematization within local and contingent contexts.
