holism in the philosophy of language  

Définition

  • Holism covers a wide variety of theses, according to each of which the whole of a theory or a language or a system has some property that its parts lack and, further, this property cannot be defined or otherwise characterized by the properties of these parts. In epistemology, holism is the view that whole theories are the smallest units of confirmation. [Source: Encyclopedia of Philosophy and the Social Sciences; Holism, in the Philosophy of Language]
