- Description
- More of the same, paraphrasing Einstein, can only lead to more of the same, or using Lakoff's terminology, the way we talk about things is the way we think about them. Currently, and in contrast to most other disciplines, medicine remains largely stuck in the simplistic "reductionist" scientific world view and is resisting the move to he complex dynamic "holistic" scientific world view.
