Description
The terms ‘holism’ and ‘holistic’ arouse strong emotional responses in contemporary culture, whether this be negative or positive, and the essays in this interdisciplinary collection probe, each in its own way, the possibilities and problems inherent in thinking holistically.
'Never has holism been more important than in this era of planetary crisis, polarized thinking, and the fragmenting of communities and the psyche. Never too has holism been so lauded and derided. So Holism: Possibilities and Problems is a necessary book for the twenty first century. With a wonderfully cogent introduction by Roderick Main, Christian McMillan, and David Henderson, the book focuses on the interrelated thought of Gilles Deleuze and C. G. Jung while also ranging richly between philosophy, the arts, clinical practice and the Anthropocene. For seekers of "the whole" in the context of emergence, complexity theory and transdisciplinarity, this is the place to start.' - Susan Rowland, Ph.D, Pacifica Graduate Institute, California, USA
