CHAPTER V
ANALYSIS AND SYNTHESIS
DEFINITION OF ANALYSIS.—“Analysis,” says the Century Dictionary is “the resolution or separation of anything which is compound, as a conception, a sentence, a material substance or an event, into its constituent elements or into its causes;” that is to say, analysis is the division of the thing under consideration into its definite cause, and into its definite parts or elements, and the explanation of the principle upon which such division is made.[1]
DEFINITION OF SYNTHESIS.—“Synthesis” is, “a putting of two or more things together; composition; specifically, the combination of separate elements of objects of thought into a whole, as of simple into compound or complex conceptions, and individual propositions into a system.”
USE OF ANALYSIS AND SYNTHESIS BY PSYCHOLOGY.—Analysis is defined by Sully as follows: “Analysis” is “taking apart more complex processes in order to single out for special inspection their several constituent processes.”
He divides elements of thought activity into two
“(a) analysis:
abstraction
(b) synthesis:
comparison.”
