HEALTH CARE IN THE INFORMATION SOCIETY "VOL. 2 FROM ANARCHY OF TRANSITION TO PROGRAMME FOR REFORM

DAVID INGRAM

HEALTH CARE IN THE INFORMATION SOCIETY

Part One—Adventure of Ideas

Bolder adventure is needed-the adventure of ideas, and the advantage of practice conforming itself to ideas. The best service that ideas can render is gradually to lift into the mental poles the ideal of another type of perfection which becomes a programme for reform.

VOLUME 2

Part Two—Anarchy of Transition

In every age of well-marked transition there is the pattern of habitual dumb practice and emotion which is passing, and there is the oncoming of a new complex habit. Between the two lies a zone of anarchy. —Alfred North Whitehead?”

Part Three—Programme for Reform

Human nature is so complex that paper plans for society are to the statesmen not worth even the price of the defaced paper. Successful progress creeps from point to point, testing each step.

—Alfred North Whitehead?
