In Central Europe, the organism principle held out against this turbulent development for a long time still. Friedrich Aereboe (1865–1942), the founder of the modern science of agricultural farm management, describes around 1917 an agricultural operation as a coherent organic whole: "I [...] conceive of the landed estate as an inseparable, organic whole and show how this whole takes on and must take on different form under the changing influence of external and internal conditions of life." He compares "the organic essential nature of landed-estate management" with regard to its articulation into operational branches with "the animal body, which has heart, lung, liver and other organs." Just as these — each according to its own tasks — stand in relation to a superordinate whole of the animal, so do the individual branches of agriculture to the wholeness of the farm organism. Aereboe grasps the economic web of relationships of a landed estate — just as this had come into being from intuitively instinctive substrata of consciousness — for the first time in clear, lucid thoughts. The relational fabric he encountered was for him an inviolable fact, one that had to be illuminated in thought and optimized accordingly in terms of farm economics. The fact itself, the essential being of the whole, he did not call into question.
