I want to remind of the Dialectics by Hegel which also expresses a wholeness-view. Analysis by Hegel need necessarily also synthesis . The mentally breaking down of wholes into its constituent parts need the reconstituting a while from its parts. They are different aspects in a whole. Fusion , than differentiation and than integration.
Cognition is always a dialectical relation between subject and object.
Later Marx related this to the practice. This practice is an important point by Marx, often forgotten by mechanical materialists. In social science all scientists are concerned persons. Continuity and Discontinuity refer to the two aspects of matter manifested in discrete for me or, manifested in a continuum. Nature exhibits the interchange between continuity and discontinuity.
