Klappentext zu „Holism “
This book deals with the necessity for a revival of an ancient philosophical world-view, the world-view of holism, in order to solve current global problems. Today, worldwide problems such as the threat of nuclear war and environmental destruction, poverty, and drug-related crime demand a global approach. Such a global approach is found in holism, the philosophy which claims that reality is an interconnected, interdependent whole, which radically changes the nature of each element within it. The author applies the holistic approach to the natural and social sciences, to art and religion, and then traces holism back to its roots in philosophy.

Pressezitat
"This book presents a compelling, urgent case for the necessity of changing our current, extended philosophic view of the world. Plainly, philosophic Positivism, with its piecemeal approach to reality has failed to solve global problems such as the threat of nuclear war, the "greenhouse effect", and the drug epidemic. The author explains both how and why we must supplant Positivism with a more useful, global philosophy in which reality is viewed as an interconnected, interdependent whole - i.e., the philosophy of Holism." (Regina Hobaugh, Holy Family College)"I have read Harry Settanni's book and I can say that in my estimation it will make a fine book for an undergraduate course in philosophy. It does a good job of presenting a general viewpoint on issues that really should concern students of philosophy, especially those interested in the twentieth century. I think it addresses questions that tend to be neglected in other books of its kind." (Arthur A. Grugan, Holy Family College)
