Quote
From the synopsis to the 1972 paperback edition:
- "Full Circle argues that scientific specialisation has destroyed those concepts and values crusial to the survival and regeneration of Western democracy. These values are boldly restated as an assembly of the sciences - physical, biological, and psycho-social - within a single system, the periodic cordinate system of of Unified Science, modelled on Leibnitz's Universal Characteristic....."
