“something that is made of many parts and yet
is somehow more than or different from the
combination of its parts; broadly, the
general quality or character of something.”

Holism and Gestalt

An example of holism and

gestalt is a car. Car is made up of
hundreds of different parts.
Separately, these parts do not
represent a car, but when put
together and made to work with
each other, these parts produce a
new entity entirely different
from its parts.
