(20) Analysis is the process of separating a whole into its related parts.
Synthesis is the process of uniting the related parts to form the whole.
(21) The analytic method is the method of proceeding from the whole to the related parts.
The synthetic method is the method of proceeding from the related parts to the completed whole.
(22) Analysis and synthesis deal with single things, while induction and deduction are concerned with classes of things.
(23) The complete method consists of three elements: (1) induction, (2) deduction, (3) verification or proof.
When the emphasis is placed on the inductive phase, the complete method is sometimes termed the development method.
