Organicism: Origin and development ; life and publications of the author - Pasta blanda

[T]his book traces the stages involved in working out the system which was to be known as "Organicism," and the various influences which were incorporated into its formulation. This is intended to be an intellectual autobiography covering his life and writings, at the same time dealing with the concept of "Organicism," focusing on each dimension of this world view, in turn, first as his own thinking about how a given area originated, and then how that area was developed. The reader is immediately impressed by two things. First, the breadth of Archie's interest and knowledge, and the depth of the knowledge in each of the dimensions examined. --- excerpt from book's Preface
