ORGANICISM

All concrete enduring entities are organisms: The whole influences its parts (downward causation of its various suborganisms) that come together to form it. Part-whole relationships are mutually determining. Parts determine the whole, but not completely—for wholes inject novelty or creativity into the system of parts. The whole always adds something to the sum of its parts. Mechanism cannot account for creativity in relationships, and thus organicism offers a more comprehensive, postmodern, alternative to the mechanistic materialism of modernism.
