Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to reconstruct the basic assumptions of Anatol Rapoport’s (1911–2007) general systems theory. An in-depth study of his works and the unique materials collected in the archives of the University of Toronto served to achieve the goal. Additionally, the archival search made it possible to supplement his biography with previously unexplored information. The analysis proved that A. Rapoport highlighted two important themes that find application potential in contemporary political systems research. These are semantics and the network structure of the system.
