The often asserted redundancy of the concept of wholeness applies there where it is about purely analytical enquiry of details, which indeed show the less superordinated interconnection the more they are [conceptually] isolated. Therefore, psychology is most impressed and influenced by the state of wholeness, then comes physiology which is essentially so impressed, while biochemistry is almost not so impressed and influenced at all. Synthetic processing of knowledge of details always demands wholeness consideration.
In this respect the one-molecule view introduces a concrete and apprehensible completing idea into biological research, whose results always are dependent on the methods used [i.e. the results reflect these methods, are colored by these methods, are, in a way, selected by these methods]. Chemical or physical enquiry of life can only yield chemical or physical results, or even no results at all. A functional morphological appraoch will result in finding motives of usefulness and efficiency. And a philosophical investigation will result in philosophical statements. So we must keep in mind that without exhausting method -- which would eventually mean all methods taken together or a universal but entirely fictitious method -- we cannot expect exhausting results. Diversity of methods and sufficient width of frame, are thus the first priorities of a research aiming at comprehensive results.
