Reseña del libro "Holism and Evolution (en Inglés)"
Holism and Evolution is a book written by the South African philosopher and statesman Jan Christiaan Smuts. It was first published in 1926 and is considered a seminal work in the field of holistic philosophy. In this book, Smuts argues that the universe is not merely a collection of individual parts, but rather a complex system that is interconnected and interdependent. He proposes that this holistic perspective should be applied to all aspects of life, including science, politics, and ethics.Smuts also explores the concept of evolution and how it fits into his holistic worldview. He argues that evolution is not just a biological process, but a cosmic one that encompasses all aspects of existence. He sees evolution as an ongoing process of growth and development, with humans playing a crucial role in shaping the future of the universe.Throughout the book, Smuts draws on a wide range of disciplines, including biology, physics, and philosophy, to support his arguments. He also critiques reductionist approaches to science and philosophy, which he sees as limiting and incomplete.Overall, Holism and Evolution is a thought-provoking and insightful book that challenges readers to think beyond traditional boundaries and embrace a more holistic perspective on life and the universe.This is a new release of the original 1926 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
