Gestalt theory emerged as a result of three German psychologists‚ who did not agree with the idea of introspection‚ and analysing perception to itemise it into individual sensations. They argued that‚ rather than separate sensations‚ we perceive objects as organised wholes.

If I limit myself to knowledge that I consider true beyond doubt‚ I minimize the risk of error‚ but at the same time I maximize the risk of missing out on what may be the subtlest‚ most important‚ and most rewarding things in life".
