Can a Renaissance Person Survive in a Competitive Culture?

Loeb, Arthur L.

International Journal of Social Education, v7 n1 p24-40 Spr 1992

Presents a mathematical metaphor for the birth and decline of historical eras. Identifies conditions necessary for transition from one era to the next. Argues that each era is characterized by sigmoidal growth that declines to saturation. Suggests that only synergetic, innovative people can open new areas and criteria to issue in a new era. (DK)
