[Bourgeois, Dr. Martin]

I believe that J. S. Mill (in Logic) said the opposite- that the whole is equal 
to the sum of its parts.

Try John Stewart Mill.  The expression did not originate with the Gestalt 
Psychologists.

         Throughout his campaign,Obama has often stressed the importance of 
unity and togetherness.His emphasis on the power of interdependence and the

        of  total experiences are elements of Gestralt.As a matter of fact,in 
his classic speech on race,he even used the expression "the whole is greater 
than the sum of its
        parts."
        Btw,which one of the Gestalt founders-Kohler,Kofka Wertheimer coined 
that expression?
