Cover of Vincent Descombes: Institutions of Meaning (ePUB)

Holism maintains that a phenomenon is more than the sum of its parts. Yet analysis–a mental process crucial to comprehension–involves dismantling the whole to grasp it piecemeal and relationally. Wading through such quandaries, Vincent Descombes guides readers to a deepened appreciation of the entity that enables understanding: the human mind.
