Weinberg offers an introduction to the general systems way of thinking. It is more a manual on "how to think" than an introduction to the theoretical analysis of general systems. It offers, however, a collection of theoretical priciples that may be very useful in the formulation of theories about systems.

The book is indeed an epistemic manual: how to create mental models about systems based on general considerations about systemhood and our knowledge. This may prove very useful in avoiding traps in system modeling.
