Abstract In response to the call that systems practitioners need to produce a “second epistemological break” corresponding to a shift of interest from “systems science” to “systems rationality,” it is submitted that the preparation for this “break” has already been carried out. It is shown that systems rationality is firmly established and central to the French school of thought in systemics and that the philosophical groundwork has been extensively laid out by Edgar Morin. A very limited exposé of Morin's work is presented in support of this claim.
