“An organism is less like a machine than it is like a language whose elements … take unique meaning from their context’. Analyses of individual words and their possibilities of meaning can be an essential first step: without a knowledge of the words, we cannot grasp the whole. But at the same time, it is only the meaning of the whole that gives the individual words their full and proper significance. This, in a nutshell, is the truth that has for so long been ignored within biology.”
― Iain McGilchrist, The Matter With Things: Our Brains, Our Delusions and the Unmaking of the World
