Overcoming Dichotomies


A poem in the name of a biopsychosocial and systemic understanding of the human being and society, understanding phenomena in all their complexity:



Beyond good and evil, the ethical;


Beyond right or wrong, the just;

Beyond equal or unequal, the equitable;


Beyond the mind or brain, plastic interaction;


Beyond the genetic or environmental, the epigenetic;


Beyond the rational or emotional, the affective rational being;


Beyond soul or body, transcendence in life;


Beyond idealism or empiricism, constructionism;


Beyond science or spirituality, the discovery of mysteries;


Beyond war or peace, diplomacy;


Beyond left or right, dialogue and construction;


Beyond the oppressor or the oppressed, co-operation;


Beyond autonomy and independence or intimacy, co-construction;


Beyond the self or the other, interaction;


Beyond subject or object, dialogy;


Beyond the past or future, the present.


That we embrace complexity because the whole is always much more than the sum of its parts



Ana Lúcia Senise
