Holisme en totaliteit

摘要

Holism and totality As a contribution to the debate on postmodernism and holism, the viewpoint of J C Smuts is firstly summarised in this paper. Next, this summary is used to define on a comparative basis the viewpoint on totality found in the didactic poems of Proverbs 1-9. In conclusion an intertextual reading programme is proposed which should include the literature of Proverbs to enable one to form a theological viewpoint on holism.
