Systemowa postawa badawcza a współczesne zjawiska gospodarcze

Abstract

The article constitutes an attempt at justification of the need of systems approach to the whole economic activity along with its natural context. The point is to find an approach encompassing different aspects of economic life in a manner allowing to create a comprehensive theory of these phenomena. The need of such approach to economic phenomena has its origins both in processes occuring in economic reality and its natural context, and development processes of the science itself. The research approach gained special significance in the contemporary science, and together with it — justification of initial research stages. Increased importance of these problems ensues from far-reaching effects of cognitive fertility of the accepted research concept. The systems approach consisting in a comprehensive approach to the analyzed objects appears to be especially effective today. This approach is a source of many scientific achievements and is deeply rooted in Marx's method. Simultaneously the economic reality on the world scale begins to function as a strongly internally linked system. Apart from that there are problems of ties between economy and man's natural environment with these feedbacks becoming more and more obvious in the recent years. Thus there exists a convergence in development of reality, being an object of interest of theory of economy, and form of research methods. This convergence calls for detailed analysis in the light of growing practical problems and special effectiveness of systems approaches.
