Ludwig von Bertalanffy (1901–1972) was an Austrian biologist and systems theorist best known for developing General Systems Theory (GST). He sought to understand the principles that govern complex systems across various fields, including biology, psychology, sociology, and engineering. Bertalanffy's work emphasized the importance of looking at systems as wholes rather than merely the sum of their parts.
