Before writing about holistic thought i did a few web searches to look for interesting references. Everything imaginable turned up along with a few good sites. There is holistic agriculture, health, management, language, psychology, on and on.. One site defined holistic as "dealing with wholes". Another said wholes do not exist only thousands of connections. Another said our perception of reality is cultural and changing cultural views changes reality. There are groups calling themselves "pagans" who claim holistic reason as their core belief. From here we can connect to many spiritual and religious groups who also claim to fit under holistic thought. http://speed.city-net.com/~alilmhaq/text/religionSpirituality2.htm Many essays claim todays consumptive/ownership problems are due to the traditional world view and the antidote is holistic reason. http://www.psychology.edu/post.htm The above web page goes into post modern thought and how holism fits. Adding to the confusion is my belief that an ecopath is about applying holistic thought. Things like ZEN, nature, education, ecology, and Permaculture also fit the holistic model. So... how do we get past the philosophy and think about mud, pigs, trees, and the real world?
