It is argued that these predicaments are brought upon us by the predominantly analytic thinking of the past century represented in the various forms of dichotomize such as mind and matter, man and nature, East and West, etc. It is, then, asserted that the twenty-first century should an age of synthesis, which the education for synthesis are specifically highlighted and discussed: the philosophy of the whole person, the building of sequentially broader self-identities, and strategies of conflict solution.
