Summary/Abstract: Atomists believe that any whole can be divided and analyzed into its component parts, as well as from the perspective of the relationships between its components. On the other hand, the holists say that the whole is in fact much more than a sum of its parts. The atomist divides things to know them better, the holist approaches things or systems as an aggregate. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to understand more the nature and the essence of the systems as an aggregate.
