Functional threefoldness in the human organism and human society

Johannes Rohen is known as the father of functional anatomy, and his anatomy books are used by medical students around the world. In this book, he turned his attention to human society, applying his functional approach developed over decades of meditating on the human organism. The result is a holistic yet highly differentiated view of human society as a dynamic organism that takes our understanding of social issues to a deeper level of insight. He sees the same threefold structure at work in human society as he sees in the human organism. This is a stimulating and challenging book from a renowned master.
