Anatomism

The stretched and vivid anatomism of their great figure painters.

In terms of the distinction I drew earlier between the possession of generic semantic propertis and the possession of specific semantic properties, I want to say that weak anatomism involves the possession of generic semantic properties; strong anatomism involves the possession of specific semantic properties.

Weak anatomism, however, seems to Fodor and Lepore to be a position they need not bother with.

In the country of its origin (Germany) and in the country of its adoption (America), Gestalt psychology was a reaction against two "-isms": atomism and anatomism.
