A holarchy, in the terminology of Arthur Koestler, is a hierarchy of holons — where a holon is both a part and a whole. The term was coined in Koestler's 1967 book The Ghost in the Machine. The term, spelled holoarchy, is also used extensively by American philosopher and writer Ken Wilber. The "nested" nature of holons, where one holon can be considered as part of another, is similar to the term Panarchy as used by Adaptive Management theorists Lance Gunderson and C.S. Holling.

  • A holarchy, in the terminology of Arthur Koestler, is a hierarchy of holons — where a holon is both a part and a whole. The term was coined in Koestler's 1967 book The Ghost in the Machine. The term, spelled holoarchy, is also used extensively by American philosopher and writer Ken Wilber. The "nested" nature of holons, where one holon can be considered as part of another, is similar to the term Panarchy as used by Adaptive Management theorists Lance Gunderson and C.S. Holling. The universe as a whole is an example of a holarchy, or holarchical system, and every other holarchy we are aware of is a part of this larger holarchy. File:Ambox style. png This inline uses first-person ("I"; "we") or second-person ("you") inappropriately. Please rewrite it to use a more formal, encyclopedic tone. (September 2009) David Spangler offers an alternative definition of holarchy. He writes: "In a hierarchy, participants can be compared and evaluated on the basis of position, rank, relative power, seniority and the like. But in a holarchy each person’s value comes from his or her individuality and uniqueness and the capacity to engage and interact with others to make the fruits of that uniqueness available."
  • Holarchia – termin wprowadzony przez Arthura Koestlera. Ken Wilber preferuje go zamiast terminu "hierarchia", gdyż uważa, że naturalny proces rozwoju, to nic innego jak porządek narastających całości - czyli fakt, że cały Wszechświat składa się z wymiarów, które przekraczając niższe, jednocześnie zawierają je w sobie. Cały niższy wymiar mieści się w wyższym, ale nie odwrotnie.
