		In this essay I shall unfold ideas that have been growing in my mind for the last 20 years that might be described briefly as the problem of the disc.
		I will outline how I believe that the discovery of problems with the disc was an important contribution to understanding certain cases of back pain; it is, however, a classic example of pars pro toto.

		Aber dann ist sie eben nicht mehr Pars, sondern Totum, und was in dem sinnigen Spruch vom »Rechthaben« zum Vorschein kommt, das ist nichts anderes als der gute alte Allgemeinwille Rousseaus, jene ideologische Grundfigur, aus der sämtliche der modernen Staatswesen ihre Legitimation abzuleiten pflegen.
		Um die Pars zu verstehen, müssen wir jenes Totum mit in den Blick nehmen, auf das sie früher einmal gerichtet war.
		Unser »Pars pro toto« hätte damit eine dritte Bedeutung erhalten, nämlich die eines zielgerichteten Prozesses.

	\|SFB 496\|Project C1\|Abstract\|
		The project studies the ways in which the politico-social order of estates and ranks in Early Modern Times was, by means of symbolic acts, continuously constituted anew and reaffirmed, but also challenged and changed by the parties concerned.
		This happened, on the one hand, through everyday symbolic interaction; on the other, through "solemn" public rituals in which - pars pro toto - the order as a whole was at the same time represented and produced.
		Apart from this communicative practice, the project's work concerns the theoretical reflexion of these phenomena by their contemporaries.

	Annet Mooij, Doctors of Amsterdam. Patient Care, Medical Training and Research (1650-2000)
		Doctors of Amsterdam deals with Amsterdam, of course, but it gives the reader much more, as the author preferred a broader view on medical history and added a lot of general medical history.
		Amsterdam, can be considered as a pars pro toto as important developments in the Netherlands often started in Amsterdam and with some exceptions medical innovations very often spread from there into the country.
		When the Dutch Association for the advancement of Medicine was founded in 1849, Ramaer -who took the initiative- came from Zutphen, a provincial town in the eastern province of Gelderland, but almost from the beginning the doctors from Amsterdam took the lead and according to the statutes the association’s secretary had to live in Amsterdam.

	TRANS Nr. 16: Susan Petrilli (Università degli Studi di Bari): Social reproduction and language as work and ...
		An illegitimate use of abstraction and of the relation between "abstract object" and "totality" consists in maintaining that an abstract object covers and exhausts the characteristics of a totality otherwise ignored or left in the dark.
		This is the pars pro toto fallacy discussed by John Deely in his entry of Thomas A. Sebeok in the Encyclopedia of Semiotics, edited by Paul Bouissac.
		Sebeok has extended the boundaries of traditional semiotics or more correctly semiology which is restrictively based upon the verbal paradigm and vitiated by the pars pro toto error.

		Why believers think the ideas are reality, and not simply mythic frameworks, and spread this attitude to children, is what Dawkins objects to.
		It is a classic example of the pars pro toto logical fallacy and Dawkins has made a reputation for himself with it.
		While I think most theists probably agree that fundamentalism (at least in the sense it is being bandied about in this discussion) can be a dangerous thing, what Dawkins deliberately and repeatedly ignores in his many diatribes against religion is that most theists are not fundamentalists in the way he describes.

	The Bluest Eye
		Pecola makes a hasty generalization because she assumes that everyone with blue eyes is good-looking and popular, which is the only reason that she wants blue eyes.
		The argument known as pars pro toto (or mistaking the part for the whole) can also be seen in The Bluest Eye, which is when you assume that what is true for a part will be true for the whole (Ramage, J. & Bean, J.).
		This, however, is not true because not everyone with blue eyes is good-looking, so it can be said that it is a pars pro toto argument.
