Summary, etc. The book is divided into two parts. In Part One, I present the new theoretical framework in three chapters, which respectively deal with the nature of life, the nature of mind and consciousness and the nature of social reality. Readers who are more interested in the practical appli cations of this framework should turn to Part Two (Chapters 4-7) right away. These chapters can be read independently, but they are cross referenced to the relevant theoretical sections for those who wish to go into further depth.<br/><br/>In Chapter 4, I apply the social theory developed in the preceding chapter to the management of human organizations, focusing in par ticular on the question: to what extent a human organization can be considered a living system. In Chapter 5, I shift my focus to the world at large to deal with one of the most urgent and most controversial issues of our time the challenges and dangers of economic globalization under the rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and other institutions of global capitalism. Chapter 6 is dedicated to a systemic analysis of the scientific and ethical problems of biotechnology (genetic engineering, cloning p etically modified foods etc.), with special emphasis on the recent.com ceptual revolution in genetics triggered by the discoveries of the Human Genome Project In Chapter 7, I discuss the state of the world at the beginning of our new century. After reviewing some of the major environmental and social problems and their connections with our economic systems. This represents a continuation and evolution of my previous work. Since the early 1970s, my research and writing have focused on a central theme: the fundamental change of world view that is occurring In science and in society, the unfolding of new vision of reality and the social implications of this cultural transformation.
