Holistic Science
Holistic Science is a different way of looking at the issues we face. It combines a rigorous investigation of conventional scientific thought with cutting-edge experiential, intuitive and group learning processes to bring about a more participatory understanding of the natural world and our role within it.
From this position of participation and engagement with nature we become empowered and inspired to act in the interests of ourselves and the wider world.
Schumacher College has been the pioneering force of Holistic Science for 20 years. It has brought together the radical thinkers, practitioners and activists around the world whose ideas approach centre-stage as we collectively begin to accept the need for radical rethinking of our ecological, social and economic systems.
Holistic Science is a new and emerging science of systems and wholes, qualities and values. It allows us to look at the social, economic and ecological issues of the 21st Century in a new light. It helps us to come to understandings that go beyond the limits of our current scientific paradigm.
