What is the Gestalt theory of Christian von Ehrenfels? | Philosophy

The Gestalt theory, coined by Christian von Ehrenfels in 1890, aimed to explain the distinctness of a melody compared to the collection of tones it comprises. Ehrenfels introduced the term 'Gestaltqualität' to encapsulate the concept of a pattern that is comprehensible in a single experience. This theory sought to understand how individual elements come together to form a unified whole, providing insight into the perception of complex stimuli in the field of psychology.
