Holistic Perspective (Holism)
• Holism comes from the Greek “holos”
which means “all” or “total.”
• Holism, in general terms, pertains to
the idea that all the properties of a
system cannot be rightly understood
and explained, or determined by
its component parts alone, but the
system considered as a whole
determines in a significant way how
the parts function or work.
Partial Perspective
• A partial perspective, in contrast,
focuses on just some aspects of the
whole in such a way that the whole
is overlooked or discounted
• A partial viewpoint is founded on
the component part or
parts of a whole, thus, an
incomplete perspective.
Example of Holistic Perspective
A teacher listened first to both
stories of her two arguing students
before making any conclusion about
the issue.
Example of Partial Perspective
A teacher scolded Student A after Student B
accused him of stealing her pencil.
However, the teacher only listened to the
story of student B, and not Student A
before deciding to scold the student.
 Disadvantage of partial point of view
Using a partial point of view may lead to illogical or
incorrect conclusions. In the process of doing philosophy,
it is critical to have a holistic perspective—the perception
of looking at all aspects of a situation first before making
a conclusion.
