David Rousseau (born 1960) is a British systems philosopher, Director of the Centre for Systems Philosophy, former chair of the Board of Trustees of the International Society for the Systems Sciences (ISSS), a Past President of the ISSS (2017-2018), and the Company Secretary of the British Association for the Study of Spirituality. He is known for having revived interest in establishing a scientific general systems theory (GST),[1][2][3] for promoting systems philosophy as a route to advances in GST,[4] for contributions on scientific general systems principles[5][6] and for advocating systems research as a route to a scientific understanding of spiritual and other exceptional human experiences.[7][8] His research interests include systems philosophy,[9] systems science,[10] systems engineering,[11] systems methods for exploratory research,[12] the mind-body problem,[13] and the ontological foundations of moral intuitions.[14]
