holism and holarchies : Re: Theobald's Latest Message

1998-11-21 Thread Heiner Benking

we have seen DEE HOCK at last years STATE OF THE WORLD FORUM
and have asked KEN WILBER on his FORUM and QUESTION board repeatedly
about sources, so far to not avail.

As I am not in the habit of getting tired,
instead I ask again and again,
and this time want to share with you my latest asking for an answer from
KEN WILBER.
All the matters you raise in review of Theobalds last message are too
imported to be only see in fragments..

my last message to KEN WILBERS forum:
http://www.shambhala.com/forums/wilber/index.shtml

Dear Ken,

I receive messages like the one below often. They refer to you and
holarchies but I am a little concerned when i do not get answeres from
you when I ask you directly why youa re not tracing back beyond TAYLOR
and Why you mentioned Jan SMUTS only in EYE to EYE but never again in
later publications.

Can you or anyone else help?

Heiner

I presume they refer to Dee Hock's non-hierarchical
"management-by-a-group-of-equals" structure (chaos/order) see
http://www.cascadepolicy.org/dee_hock
http://www.funderstanding.com/mailing1.htm

Similar structure is proposed by Wilber/Koestler as "holarchical", being

the "management structure" that the "most complex holon", the human
being,
runs by -- see "Brief History of Everything" etc:

http://www.shambhala.com/wilber

They have similar effect, in my opinion, to the Co-operative structure
of
Mondragon, and the Direct Democracy structure brought about by
"citizen-initiated binding referendum"

 What's  "decentralized/chaordic structures"?
