synthesis

the process of combining elements in a unified whole. It is also a term from the philosophy of Georg Hegel (1770-1831) in his theory of the dialectical development of human understanding whereby 'thesis' and its opposite 'antithesis' become resolved in the higher rational state of 'synthesis'.
