Synoptic philosophy

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]

Wilfrid Sellars (1962) used the term 'synoptic vision'.[2][3]
