英语词汇holistic的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

holistic. Though the word hardly fits in with that country’s policy of apartheid, South African prime minister General Jan C. Smuts coined this term from the Greek for “whole” in his book Holism and Evolution (1926). Smuts wrote that “The whole-making, holistic tendency . . . operating in and through particular wholes, is seen at all stages of existence . . . There is a synthesis which makes the elements or parts act as one, or ho- listically.” Thus holism is defined as “the theory that whole enti- ties, as fundamental components of reality, have an existence other than as the mere sum of their parts.”
