Description

In this study I examine the feasibility of developing a curriculum in a field of learning which is at present hardly recognised in higher education. In such a curriculum (conveniently called holistic) the objective is to understand human situations as a whole, by combining all relevant aspects of experience and learning. The design of a holistic curriculum, therefore, takes into account the interrelationships between the disciplines and those between academic and common knowledge.
