Quantum Holism

As for the concept of “quantum holism,” I think that the main characteristic of this concept is interdependence. While a mechanistic view which insists that all natural events are like machines or artifacts tends to neglect interdependence, quantum holism pays attention to reciprocal influences in reality. When we think about social issues such as international conflicts, environmental issues, or global economic crisis, the above worldview like mechanism will not give any beneficial clues to these global issues, because in that paradigm, these issues are recognized as isolated ones in countries and never thought as comprehensive issues in the world. As we know, our world is becoming more and more interconnected, so the first step toward a solution of such global issues might be to understand that our world is not separated but closely connected with each other.
