全ぜん体たい論ろん

noun

holism

A philosophical term referring to the idea that systems and their properties should be viewed as wholes, not just as a collection of parts. 'Wholism' is a less common variant spelling.

• 全ぜん体たい論ろんは、部ぶ分ぶんの総そう和わ以い上じょうのものが全ぜん体たいにはあると考かんがえる。

  Holism holds that the whole is more than the sum of its parts.
