While much of contemporary philosophy only focuses on one specific aspect of a single problem, A Precis of Natural Systems takes a more systematic approach to these fundamental problems. It is a summary of a new approach to the foundations of language, logic, science, values and social systems in an integrated manner. While the Precis is intended as a stand alone volume, its companion volume, A Disquisition on Natural Systems, is an amplification of the points presented in the Precis.
