COMMENTS on St. A. Umpleby

Abstract

In connection with Professor Stuart Umpleby’s paper there arose two groups of methodological problems, which I am going to conditionally consider to be external and internal methodologies. External methodology touches upon definition and explication of tasks, functions and place of such procedures as a group process method LENS or if taken wider - those of any organizational game in the modern scientific and technological knowledge. Internal methodology has to do with organization of the procedures including their structures, means of their realization and criteria which must correspond both to some stages of such procedures and the procedures themselves as a whole. Professor Umpleby approaches to this or that extent both groups of problems, but his considerations of them need to be completed and made more precise as it seems to me.
