This text explores the philosophical concept of wholeness in relation to Heidegger’s interpretation of the Greek terms logos and legein. The author critically evaluates the Czech translation of "shromáždění" (gathering) and suggests "sebranost" (collectedness) as a more fitting expression of a whole's internal integrity. Distinguishing a true whole from a mere random heap—a distinction dating back to Heraclitus—the text argues that wholeness results from an active process of gathering that inherently involves selection. Unlike a pile where items are simply accumulated, gathering implies a purposeful search and unification of elements. This principle is illustrated through biological organisms, which demonstrate a selective capacity to extract specific nutrients from their environment. Such internal unity is presented as a fundamental characteristic of being that transcends a simple mechanical understanding of the material world, pointing toward a deeper organic integrity that remains partly mysterious to modern science and suggests a profound natural order.
