Of Culture and Multiverse: Renouncing “the Universal Truth” in Health

Abstract Western man sic has created chaos by denying the part of his self that integrates while enshrining the parts that fragment experience. These examinations of man's sic psyche have also convinced me that the natural act of thinking is greatly modified by culture. Western man sic uses only a small fraction of his mental capabilities, there are many different and legitimate ways of thinking; we in the West value one of these ways above all others–the one we call “logic,” a linear system that has been with us since Socrates. (Hall, 1976, p.9)
