Chemistry influenced models of the mind, as seen in Locke's ideas about combining simple ideas into complex ones, analogous to chemical elements forming compounds. John Stuart Mill expanded on this, suggesting a complex idea is more than the sum of its parts, similar to how water is more than hydrogen and oxygen.
La química influyó en los modelos de la mente, como se ve en las ideas de Locke sobre la combinación de ideas simples en complejas, análogo a los elementos químicos formando compuestos. John Stuart Mill amplió esto, sugiriendo que una idea compleja es más que la suma de sus partes, similar a cómo el agua es más que hidrógeno y oxígeno.
