We live in a time where all current systems of human thought from physics to politics are dominated by a set of underlying assumptions, that are mostly outdated and no longer work in a very different world that is more interdependent and connected than ever before in human history.It is in this context that Fritjof Capra presents many ideas and concepts involved in systems thinking, involving a holistic approach that recognizes the organic unity and interconnection between all things. It calls for a complete paradigm shift in our understanding of reality that takes entire systems in account, rather than only considering their component parts.A must read for anyone that is increasing confused by all of the seeming chaos and madness present in today's world. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A major, detailed expansion of Capra's prior work. *by D***L on Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2019* At 498 pages, this is no small tome. I have not finished it, but Capra and Luisi scan a huge swath of scientific thinking and delve into human behavior to propose a new paradigm for living with eco-literacy as its core. This book is the "text" for the Capra Course. If you want a brief overview, this isn't it. However, a brief overview is impossible when the objective is a huge shift in your worldview. I have a very similar program, and this is a great resource book. Capra and Luisi have dug into aspects of our environmental crises that I did not find by digging on my own -- not enough time. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Intellectual journey *by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2015* Outstanding intellectual journey of science, history and philosophy to develop the systems view of life. While the book is categorized as science oriented given the authors' physics and cell biology backgrounds, the Systems View of Life is so much more than science. The underlying theories apply to all aspects of planetary activity such as law, economics, society, government etc. The essence of the book is the disconnect between the non-linear planetary processes based on relationships, forms, feed back loops and our linear models that stem from a mechanistic and material world view. This disconnect explains why humanity faces so many ecological and social problems. We see ourselves as independent from nature and act accordingly, yet we have created a economic system that is destroying the life giving features of this planet. The book provides the historical development from Newtonian mechanistic thinking to an evolving holistic approach and how that transition occurred. Even if you don't have a science background the authors present the material in a coherent way. This is a must read if you are interested in complexity and systems theory or if you are looking at issues of sustainability. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/6993393-the-systems-view-of-life-a-unifying-vision-1st-edition](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/6993393-the-systems-view-of-life-a-unifying-vision-1st-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
