 Meaning holism thus comes with a number of costs (particularly relating to instability and objectivity), and while there are a variety of strategies available to make these costs more bearable, no single approach to doing so seems problem-free. That said, these strategies can be complementary, and it may be the case that a combination of them can do the work in a way that no single one of them would be able to. In any case, being completely problem free is a very high bar to set for a philosophical theory, and meaning holists are free to argue not only that the benefits that come with their view outweigh the costs, but also that the atomistic and molecularist theories face equally severe problems of their own.
