Magnum Opus: History and Critique of Analytical Reason

This is a preliminary overview of my upcoming magnum opus. Volume I shows the development of modern analytical-rational thinking since the Ancient Greeks. In Volume II, I present an elaborate in-depth critique of modern thinking including its limitations, fallacies, and ethical consequences. Finally, in Volume III, after providing examples of a budding holistic thinking in different areas of science and philosophy, I will attempt to define theoretically and practically this new paradigm of Synthetic Reason as a way of thinking in terms of the whole instead of only the parts.
