✦ Synopsis

This paper examines Laszlo's solution to the semantic problems of system definitions which hinder development of general systems theory. Laszlo's set theoretic structure is shown to add little to the reduction of semantic difficulties encountered in the development of an explication of the concept of a system. It is also suggested that the construal approach used by Marchal is more useful to produce a rigorous yet functional explication of the term system.
