“There is a strong current in contemporary culture advocating ' holistic ' views as some sort of cure-all... Reductionism implies attention to a lower level while holistic implies attention to higher level.

“Man... is an inextricable tangle of culture and biology. And not being simple, he is not simply good; he has... a kind of hell within him from which rise everlastingly the impulses which threaten his civilization.

Yet he is a creature of love.” MenWorldWayKindCultureSimplePleasureResultsPayQualityStruggleHellAchieveCivilizationCreaturesEqualGainsDefeatSatisfactionBest WayCompromiseImpulseOutcomesTragicBiologyFacultyCoins Author:Lionel
