Holonomics
Holonomics
Term coined by the Holonomics Group, founded in England in 1977, to denote "the unified and impartial study of the pattern of law and purpose of the universe as a whole," deriving from the ancient Greek words holon (whole) and nomos (law). Holonomics, a holistic theory, is considered "a new approach to fundamental knowledge, adopting a holistic mode of thinking and action, and aiming to coordinate and integrate the approaches of science, philosophy, religion, personal experience, ethics, and the arts, and to have direct applications to the human situation."
