Show It must be emphatically stated that the items or particulars included in a homogeneous class are almost the reverse of what St Paul meant by members. By members he meant what we should call organs. things essentailly different from, and complimentary to, one another: things differing not only in structure and function but also in dignity. C.S. Lewis (28) Analogue 7) Part-whole reciprocation The continumorph is a part and a whole simultaneously. We talk less though about wholes (ideaology) and more about parts since no whole in nature is ever completed. Ideology leads to abstraction and death. Wholes in nature are always in the process of being increased in size and complexity. As a part acquires more parts in its role as a part we see that it moves from being a simple to a complex or amalgamated part. At one moment a complex part may survive as a whole alone yet in the next moment may become a part of a larger subsuming whole. -56- |
