Synoptic philosophy
Appearance
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]
The philosopher Wilfrid Sellars (1962) also uses the term synoptic vision.[2][3]
