Das monistische Naturbild in der biologisch-dynamischen Bewegung

The present book demonstrates that spiritual-philosophical world and nature images are not merely abstract theories, but rather influence human activities in nature. The author connects current nature images, contemporary theories of knowledge, and value and action patterns in modern agricultural systems. What essential characteristics do current nature images exhibit? How do spiritual concepts about the world influence scientific and epistemological theories? What is a paradigm and how is it expressed in agriculture? What does monism mean and what form does it take in the paradigmatic orientation of the Demeter movement? These and more questions are answered through comprehensive literature research and qualitative field studies. It is recognized as a guiding principle for Demeter agriculture.
