Significance of Synthesis
Synthesis, a multifaceted term, encompasses various meanings across disciplines. In Natyashastra, it signifies the union of words, while in Vedanta, it reflects the Shiva Gita's philosophical blend. Theravada uses it to describe Abhidhamma's aim of reinterpreting constituent factors. In Indian history, it represents Bhattacharya's blending of ideologies. Science defines it as creating chemical compounds through reactions. Health Sciences further expands this to include the chemical creation of compounds, the combination of information, and the manufacturing of substances for drug development.
Synonyms: Combination, Integration, Blending, Amalgamation, Unification, Composition, Formulation, Assembly, Consolidation, Cooperation, Fusion, Coalescence
In Dutch: Synthese; In German: Synthese; In Finnish: Synteesi; In Spanish: Síntesis

Buddhist concept of 'Synthesis'
In Buddhism, synthesis involves redefining relationships between components. This is achieved through the Abhidhamma's analytical approach, aiming to understand how various elements interact and form a cohesive whole.
From: Guide to Tipitaka
(1) The aim of Abhidhamma to redefine inter-relations between various constituent factors after analysis.[1]
Hindu concept of 'Synthesis'
In Hinduism, Synthesis encompasses two key aspects. Firstly, it signifies the meaningful connection of words in compositions. Secondly, it describes the Shiva Gita's unique ability to merge diverse philosophical teachings, including Advaita and Bhakti, into a unified whole.
From: Natyashastra (English)
(1) The union of words connected through intended meanings within compositions.[2]
The concept of Synthesis in local and regional sources
Synthesis, in Bhattacharya's narratives, involves blending diverse ideologies and values. This approach aims to address societal issues, suggesting a holistic solution derived from a combination of different perspectives rather than a single, dominant ideology.
From: Triveni Journal
(1) The blending of various ideologies and values that Bhattacharya promotes as a solution to societal challenges in his narratives.[3]
The concept of Synthesis in scientific sources
Synthesis, within this context, primarily refers to the creation of chemical compounds. It involves deliberate reactions and procedures in a laboratory setting, often to produce new derivatives for various applications, including drug development and the study of chemical properties.
From: International Journal of Pharmacology
(1) This process involves the preparation of chemical compounds, such as new substituted 1,2,4-triazine-6-one derivatives, often through methods like the fusion of specific starting materials.[4] (2) The process of creating or manufacturing a substance, as demonstrated in the efficient synthesis of rugchalcone A, rugchalcone B, and their derivatives.[5] (3) Synthesis refers to the process of creating chemical compounds through a series of reactions, and this study involved the synthesis of several thienopyrimidine derivatives.[6] (4) Synthesis is the process by which the chemical compounds, including various pyridine Schiff bases, were created in the laboratory for testing.[7] (5) The artificial creation of chemical compounds in a laboratory, often used to confirm the structure or produce compounds that are difficult to isolate from natural sources.[8]
From: The Malaysian Journal of Medical Sciences
(1) This is the process of combining information and findings from multiple studies, as described in the methodology of the study.[9]
From: Journal of Public Health in Africa
(1) The process of combining information from multiple sources to create a cohesive understanding, as applied to qualitative evidence in this study.[10]
From: International Journal of Pharmacology
(1) The process of creating chemical compounds, which in this research involved preparing various imidazolidine-2,4-dione and 2-thioxoimidazolidin-4-one derivatives through specific reaction procedures.[11] (2) This refers to the process of creating chemical compounds through deliberate reactions and procedures.[12]
