More From Arthur Koestler
No Man Is An Island- He Is A Holon. A Janus-faced Entity Who, Looking Inward, Sees Himself As A Self-contained Unique Whole, Looking Outward As A Dependent Part. His Self-assertive Tendency Is The Dynamic Manifestation Of His Unique Wholeness, His Autonomy And Independence As A Holon. Its Equally Universal Antagonist, The Integrative Tendency, Expresses His Dependence On The Larger Whole To Which He Belongs: His 'part-ness.'.
