Answer
**Atomism**, the philosophical theory that the physical world is composed wholly of minute, indivisible particles called atoms, was opposed by Gustav Theodor Fechner. He rejected the notion of reductionism, the idea that complex phenomena can be fully explained by the behavior of their constituent parts, favoring instead a holistic approach that considered the mind and body as a unified whole.
