Who this is
“He watched the Atlantic tides rise and fall with the moon and saw in that one observation his entire philosophy: everything in the cosmos is connected to everything else — and you can go and look.”
The big idea, in the book's words:
“The universe is a single living organism whose parts are connected by sympathy — so every science, from astronomy to psychology to history, is one investigation, and philosophy is its name.”
