If x, y, z are characteristics I like about a certain individual: I’d ask myself whether I’d still like the person if they lacked x, then y, then z, & we can continue this thought experiment with varying combinations of traits they theoretically possess or lack. People, for the most part, judge an individual holistically, but in the end, their judgements can be reduced to some finite set of characteristics. It is intractable to come up with that set. We simply do not know it. Thus, holistic judgements are our inability to enumerate that set & compute it logically. Our brain does computations that we are unaware of in the same sense in which we recognize a facial expression "holistically" a la Wittgenstein, etc. If D = ex & C = current object of affection Let X = {things about D that I like} Y = {things about D I don't like} X' = {things about C I like} Y' = {things about C I don't like} It's sufficiently hard to know what's in each of those sets. It’s even harder to know what's in their intersections and complements. I may be projecting traits or I may really want X,Y but is imagining X',Y'. I may be seeing an illusion of X',Y' so instead of X',Y' i'm seeing X'' = Projection(X) and Y'' = Projection(Y) Overall, there will probably be reasonable commonality between X, X' and Y, Y' The conclusion is that one should take a holistic approach in their assessment of a person instead of focusing on their individual characteristics. Inconclusive.
