ABSTRACT
This chapter will carry the examination of the concept of totality to a point from which we may hope to get a perspective, including all the vistas that possibility has opened to us. Totality is one of a family of concepts that have had a very stormy past in the history of thought. This family is headed by the couple, part-whole, and contains a large and active group of near and distant relations. We cannot hope to investigate all of them. It will be quite enough for us to handle if we try to discover the relations of possibility and the part-whole complex.
