WHAT DOES ORGANICISM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

organicism

Organicism

Organicism is the philosophical perspective which views the universe and its parts as organic wholes and - either by analogy or literally - as living organisms. It can be synonymous with holism. Organicism is an important tradition within the history of natural philosophy where it has remained as a vital current alongside reductionism and mechanism, the approaches that have dominated science since the seventeenth century. Plato is among the earliest philosophers to have regarded the universe as an intelligent living being. Organicism flourished for a period during the era of German romanticism during which time the new science of biology was first defined by Jean-Baptiste Lamarck. Within modern-day biological sciences organicism is the approach that stresses the organization, rather than the composition, of organisms. William Emerson Ritter first used the term in this sense in 1919 after which it became well-accepted during the course of the 20th century.

Definition of organicism in the English dictionary
