摘　　要：人类的自我意识引发了人类问题情境有组织的复杂性,它促使切克兰德的系统思想和系统实践转向了诠释主义。这种诠释主义系统进路的独特之处在于它自觉地把系统的思想方法作为一种认识论工具来理解和改进问题情境。这种认识论功能体现在两方面。一是采用了整体子来表达系统的概念。二是在方法论中通过建模、比较、讨论和反思等关键活动把系统方法论内化为一种探询人类问题情境的认识论工具。Human self-consciousness produces the organized complexity of human problematic situation. It drives Checkland＇s system theory and system practice turn to the interpretive system approach. The unique character of interpretive system approach is that it self-consciously employs system thinking as a kind of Epistemological tool to understand and improve the problematic situation. The Epistemological Function locates at two aspects. Firstly, it uses ＇holon＇ instead of ＇system＇ to express the meaning of the whole. Secondly, the methodology is devel- oped as an epistemological tool to inquire the problematic situation by the four key activities which are building model, comparison, debate and reflection.
