The article focuses on the symposium of the life and work of Kenneth E. Boulding, the most extraordinary economist. The symposium was conceived as a tribute to him who endeavored to use the skills not only of the economist, but of the sociologist, the political scientist, the anthropologist and even the philosopher and the theologian. Boulding made important contributions to the fields of political science, sociology, philosophy, and social psychology. His forays into subjects outside the usual concerns of economists were not an intellectual dilettantism, rather, they were result of his conviction that an understanding of human behavior can only be accomplished by studying man in his totality.
