RT Book T1 A systemic history of the Middle Way: its biological, psycho-developmental, and cultural conditions T2 Middle way philosophy JF Middle way philosophy A1 Ellis, Robert M. LA English PP Bristol PB Equinox Publishing Ltd YR 2024 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1870804287 AB "This book examines the history of the Middle Way in four inter-related ways: as the biological development of organisms in relation to reinforcing or balancing feedback loops, as the psychological development of individual humans during a lifetime, as a succession of reinforcing and balancing feedback tendencies in human culture through history, and as a successive development of integrative practice. This shows how the Middle Way is a path distinctive to the human response to complexity, but nevertheless one rooted in the wider processes of all life. In the process it provides a detailed exploration of the relationship between the Middle Way and systems theory, biology, developmental psychology, and world history" OP 337 NO Includes bibliographical references and index CN BQ4280 SN 978-1-80050-449-3 SN 978-1-80050-448-6 K1 Gautama Buddha K1 Middle Way (Buddhism)
