what is liology?

Liology (pronounced lee-ology) is a word made up from the Chinese word “li,” which means “the organizing principles” and “ology” which is the Greek-derived word for “study.”  So liology means “the study of the organizing principles.”  

You might ask: the organizing principles of what?  The answer: everything.  The complete set of dynamic patterns that make up our entire universe - what the traditional Chinese called the Tao.

The Web of Meaning:

Integrating Science and Traditional Wisdom to Find Our Place in the Universe


The Web of Meaning offers a coherent and intellectually solid foundation for a worldview based on deep interconnectedness, showing how modern scientific knowledge echoes the ancient wisdom of earlier cultures.


Weaving together findings from modern systems thinking, evolutionary biology, and cognitive neuroscience with insights from Buddhism, Taoism, and Indigenous wisdom, it offers a rigorous and integrated way of understanding our place in the cosmos that can serve as a philosophical foundation for a life-affirming future.
