Chemistry[edit | edit source]

In Chemistry, synthesis is the process of creating a complex molecule from simpler ones. This process is fundamental to the production of many substances, including pharmaceuticals, plastics, and dyes. The opposite of synthesis in chemistry is decomposition, where a complex molecule is broken down into simpler ones.

Biology[edit | edit source]

In Biology, synthesis refers to the process by which living organisms produce complex molecules from simpler ones. This includes the synthesis of proteins from amino acids, and the synthesis of nucleic acids from nucleotides. The process of synthesis in biology is essential to life, as it allows organisms to grow, reproduce, and maintain their structures.

Philosophy[edit | edit source]

In Philosophy, synthesis is a method of reasoning that combines thesis and antithesis to form a new idea or understanding. This concept is often associated with the work of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, who used synthesis as part of his dialectical method of reasoning.
