Purpose: The transformation of political, social, business and many other organizations into learning organizations is very needed. Such a process should be supported by the theory of learning organizations. This theory, if it is to play more effectively its role, should continue to develop. According to opinion of the author of the present text, improving the conceptual basis of this theory and of its logical structure is one of the desired directions of this development. The purpose of the paper is to contribute to such a development. Design/methodology/approach: This text has character of logical analysis of theoretical concepts and theorems. Findings: The theory of learning organizations is an interdisciplinary theory including elements of such disciplines as epistemology, system theory, cognitive sciences, psychology (of learning), sociology (of organizations), theory of social communication and management sciences. One, common consistent theoretical language is a necessary (though: not sufficient) condition for transforming theory of learning organizations into a more coherent theoretical system. Research limitations/implications: The analyses presented in this text are rather of preliminary character. They should be continued; especially, some formal (mathematical) methods should be applied. Practical implications: Precising, clarifying and systematizing theorems - are important conditions for any social theory to influence effectively politics, governance and management. Social implications: The better function various organizations, the better (sustainable, ecologically safe, socially just, etc.) - all other factors equal - society. Originality/value: The paper undertakes important but little-studied aspects of the theory of learning organizations. (original abstract)
