More quotes by Ludwig von Bertalanffy
We are seeking another basic outlook: the world as an organization. This would profoundly change categories of our thinking and influence our practical attitudes. We must envision the biosphere as a whole with mutually reinforcing or mutually destructive inter-dependencies.
Ludwig von Bertalanffy
Progress is only possible by passing from a state of undifferentiated wholeness to differentiation of parts.
Ludwig von Bertalanffy

Ludwig von Bertalanffy
