| holism |
the view that social phenomena are integrated into single wholes (such as a common culture). Holism opposes the mechanistic view that analyses events by breaking them down into constituent parts. It suggests that the essence of the whole is present in all parts and hence often places importance on mundane events, which are seen as microcosms of the whole.

| holism |
The idea that ``the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.'' Holism is credible on the basis of emergence alone, since reductionism and bottom-up descriptions of nature often fail to predict complex higher- level patterns.
