More on dichotomies, and not from Lofting!

Science writer McCrone's latest endevour:

http://www.dichotomistic.com

( he and I have discussed dichotomies many times on many lists over many years! - he misses some material I have and as such is a bit 'thin' but at least it is written so 9th graders can read it ;-))

My first impression of that site was 'interesting'. But after reading a few things I'm beginning to wonder if McCrone is perhaps only paying lip service to 'organic logic' and all that.
I smell a hidden materialist reductionist there and the hidden ones, those who hide behind a smoke screen of holistic blablabla, are the worst of all!
Our beloved Lightofreason is at least honest!

But maybe I'm mistaken, I will read more, the man deserves another chance.

Meanwhile, there is a lot about dichotomizing out there - I liked especially Fritz Perls' treatment of it in 'Ego, Hunger and Aggression' (don't know if the book is still in print).
And it seems that 'Creative Indifference' by S. Friedlaender is also very interesting. Fritz mentions the book but I didn't read it yet, it's on my too loooooooooong to-read-list.
