Tektology is a term used by Alexander Bogdanov to describe a discipline that consisted of unifying all social, biological and physical sciences by considering them as systems of relationships and by seeking the organizational principles that underlie all systems. Tectology is now regarded as a precursor of systems theory and related aspects of synergetics. The word "tectology" was developed by Ernst Haeckel, but Bogdanov used it for a different purpose.
Bogdanov's Tektology represents a unique contribution to the field of organizational theory and practice. It is a general organizational science which is concerned with universal structural regularities, general types of systems, general laws of their transformation and the basic laws of organization of any elements in nature, practice and cognition. The paper outlines the basic concepts of tektology and provides some pertinent facts about its author and his other related works. It also offers an explanation for an unusually long period of neglect of tektology by contemporary scholars and indicates the relevance of tektology to modern generalizing sciences.
Keywords: Organization, tektological mechanism, conjunction, ingression, egression, degression, linkage, disingression, boundary, conjunctive/disjunctive crises, positive/negative selection, convergence/divergence of forms, stability, dynamic equilibrium
