Abstract

The aim of the introduction is to provide insight into the interdisciplinary research program of Socionics and to clarify fundamental concepts like micro-macro linkage and scalability from the two different perspectives of Sociology and DAI&MAS research. Far away from the intention to offer final answers, the article rather tries to provide a framework to understand the contributions of the book as well as to relate their content to each other. The introduction also informs the reader about the scientific context of the interdisciplinary field of Socionics and deals with basic concepts and comments from the point of view of both Sociology and DAI&MAS research.
