HolismandEvolution

About This Edition

First published in 1926, “Holism and Evolution” by Jan Christiaan Smuts introduced the word “holism” to the English language and his theory that nature tends to produce organised wholes greater than the sum of their parts.

This centennial edition presents the original text (of the third edition) alongside a modernised version, making Smuts' visionary philosophy accessible to the contemporary reader. The dual-pane reader lets you compare both versions in parallel, chapter by chapter.
