or The emotion got the best of me, and I couldn’t help it, such thinking quickly becomes a life-lie.
YOUTH: You’re referring to the time I yelled at that waiter, aren’t you? PHILOSOPHER: Yes.
This view of the human being as “I as a whole,” as an indivisible being that cannot be broken down into parts, is referred to as “holism.”

that is to say, the separation of tasks, probably came about as a way to resolve those problems.
