Holism and Evolution

Más información sobre el libro

The concept of holism, introduced by J. C. Smuts in 1926, emphasizes the natural tendency to create integrated wholes that surpass mere aggregates of their individual components. This idea reflects a dynamic process of creative evolution, suggesting that complex systems and organisms evolve through interconnectedness and synergy rather than isolation. Smuts' definition invites exploration into the implications of holism across various fields, highlighting the importance of understanding relationships and interactions in nature.
