Opis

This book explores the relationship between the human tendency to bifurcate the world, and the creation and resolution of our most wicked social problems. Using an original theory of bi-relational development, it proposes that our everyday ways of knowing and being can be powerfully located and understood in terms of the creation, emergence, opposition, convergence, collapse and trans-positioning of dyadic constituents.
