An Interesting SynthesisApril 16, 2008 This is a book that integrates many disparate themes into a surprisingly coherent whole. It is, first and foremost, a systems approach to social science. But it is more than that. It is also a unifying evolutionary framework and a plausible world view. It provides an intuitively satisfying integration of biological, mental and social processes. It is also well written. And I would have to agree with the reviewer who called it one of the best books he had ever read. It is truly a little jewel.
One of the most brilliant books about knowledge!December 17, 1997 10 out of 15 found this review helpful
This is one of the best books I have read in my life. A picture of man's mental scenery by a very accute observer. A short book written with a lot of wisdom. An inspiring source of ideas and understanding for people for whom knowledge is important!
