Sažetak

Autopoietic theory, a theory of complex, non-linear,
autonomous and especially living systems, found its way from
biology, through the social sciences to organization theory
and information systems. It enjoys major attention from
scientific audiences in lots of different disciplines. Still, there
hasn't been enough effort to establish a common foundation
for a new theory. There are often contradictions in the very
essence of the theory which are outlined in this article. By
using a more simplistic conceptualization of autopoiesis, we
are trying to give guidelines for a new foundation in this area.
