Overview | Vitalism
Life University Brand Standards
Life University ’ s educational and clinical philosophy is based on Vitalism .
Vitalism is the understanding and principle that all living systems are conscious , self-developing , self-maintaining and self-healing . This means that the body is more than the sum of its parts ; it is imbued with a specific intelligence that guides its development , interactions with its environment on all levels and responses to challenges that environment creates or imposes . The concept of Vitalism is foundational to the entire concept of health and wellness in humans . Our bodies work hard to express health , to maintain health and to recover from illnesses or other conditions that threaten our health .
This philosophy is not new and has been followed by generation upon generation in other areas of the world and throughout multiple cultures .
Vitalism has a long history that was marginalized during the scientific revolution of the early twentieth century , but which has recently enjoyed a new degree of attention from academic , philosophic and clinical examiners based on the new perspective quantum mechanics has given us on issues of space , time and healing .
Vitalism is the guiding philosophy at Life University and is prevalent throughout all our degree programs - including business and computer information management . That ’ s not a stretch if you consider the fact that economies , cultures and even complex machinery are designed and maintained by humans with the goal of having them operate at optimum potential for the benefit of all .
