Abstract

I find the conceptual field where Oriental and Occidental perspectives in psychology meet in the analysis of borders within systems—looking at the specific mechanisms under which these borders can inhibit or enhance the exchange relations between parts within the whole. The Occidental science has selected a non-fruitful pathway to knowledge that prescribes context-free categorisation of elements instead of viewing them as parts of functioning systems.
