Synoptic philosophy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Synoptic philosophy comes from the Greek word συνοπτικός synoptikos ("seeing everything together") and together with the word philosophy, means the love of wisdom emerging from a coherent understanding of everything together.[1]

Wilfrid Sellars (1962) used the term synoptic vision.[2][3]
