Part-Whole Analysis does not only offer a substantial theory (that of Formal Ontology, according to one interpretation), it also offers a Method for Analysis. This view is accepted by: Sokolowski, Monhanty (2008), John Drummond(2002, 37), D. W. Smith (2002,64).
Someone doubts its central place in Husserl as a Method (Lohmar), and one is rightly to doubt because Part-Whole Analysis is impossilbe with still more fundamental analysis, i.e., Eidetic Variation. P-W analysis must presuppose the method of Eidetic Variation, implicitly or explicitly. The reason for this claim is that, the very essential distinction between Part and Whole, and different kinds of Parts and Wholes must be made essentially by reference to essential intuition, i.e., Eidetic Variation.
