Many highlights from Tektology: Universal Organizational Science by A. Bogdanov are projected onto the concepts of modern systemic thinking according to systemic economic theory. The concepts of space by Aristotle, I. Newton, A. Einstein and A. Bogdanov are compared; the place of Bogdanov's school in modern systemic discourse is clarified. A generalised subject human life sphere structural model, which makes it possible to describe in a unified manner the processes of cognition and creation of spiritual and material human world, is proposed. Due to this, all types of internal and external factors that stimulate these processes become possible to be included in the process of analysing creation and functioning of economic systems. Bogdanov's concept of ingression as a connection of socio‐economic space–time allows us to formulate a hypothesis about four universal types of system genesis factors and determine guidelines for harmonious development of economy and society in the foreseeable future.
