Category:Holism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Holism is the idea that all the properties of a given system (biological, chemical, social, economic, mental, linguistic, etc.) cannot be determined or explained by the sum of its component parts alone. Instead, the system as a whole determines in an important way how the parts behave.
This category is often contrasted with Reductionism.
