THIS paper attempts to construct a conceptual framework for the precise explication of Gestalt concepts, such as those of whole, Gestaltquality, and system, as they are employed in various branches of empirical science. Our starting point is given by the terms part and whole. Even a superficial survey of the relevant literature shows that these are the basic concepts for our investigation. The part-whole concept is a very general one, accommodating a wide variety of usages. This feet is attested to by the diversity of functions which the terms ' part' and ' whole' play in everyday and in technical parlance.* However, in the present study we will not confine ourselves to some particular sense of ' part ' and ' whole ' ; rather, we wish to retain the wide range of application of these terms. To assure such breadth of applicability, we here assume that only certain essential features of the part-whole relation are taken as fixed and specified, and .ill else left open as a matter of application and interpretation.
