Publisher's Synopsis
Holism and Evolution is a philosophical book written by J. C. Smuts, a South African statesman and philosopher. The book explores the concept of holism, which is the idea that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and its relationship to evolution. Smuts argues that evolution is not simply a process of mechanistic change, but rather a creative force that produces new forms of life through the integration of diverse elements. He also suggests that the concept of holism is essential for understanding the complexity and interconnectedness of the natural world. The book covers a wide range of topics, including biology, psychology, sociology, and philosophy, and has been influential in shaping the development of holistic thinking in various fields.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
