Craige calls for the creation of a holistic system of learning that will emphasize interdisciplinary and nondisciplinary research, reconnecting literary studies with history and philosophy, with science and politics, restoring literature itself to a central place in our intellectual discourse and social debate.

Examines a fundamental shift in contemporary Western thought: the replacement of the dualistic and hierarchical model of reality by a holistic one. Craige traces the emergence of this paradigm to Darwin, whose evolutionary theory opened the way for a more egalitarian vision of human society.

This holistic approach is perhaps best summarized by Odum's oft-quoted statement that "the ecosystem is greater than the sum of its parts." Odum's textbook Fundamentals of Ecology is a classic, published in numerous editions and translations worldwide. Betty Jean Craige depicts the intellectual growth, creativity, and vision of the...
