This seems to marry nicely with the Objectivist principle of man infusing his spirit into matter via integrated thought and action.  An automobile, for man, is more than the sum of the raw materials buried in the earth even when you add the mental and physical labor put into transforming the raw materials into the automobile.  The whole is more than the sum of its parts.

This phrase has become a favorite propaganda tool for collectivists.

The Metaphysics is a pretty big book.  Do you have a Bekker citation?
