How do I use "gestalt" in this sentence?

Question

We're looking at the same thing, but I see it from a different gestalt.

...see it in a different gestalt.

...see it with a different gestalt.

Or should it be something completely different?

Additional Details

Oh, and thanks in advance for your help!

Gestalt: A collection of physical, biological, psychological or symbolic entities that creates a unified concept, configuration or pattern which is greater than the sum of its parts.

Given that "gestalt" as you've defined it represents a point of view or frame of reference, I'd be inclined to use your first sentence.

I believe you have it right in the first line...but, I really don't know for sure. I just wanted to compliment you on your pictures. Love it.

Answer 3

Use this sentence:

Gestalt is a very silly word.

Answer 4

Hmm, interesting question.
Maybe it's better to use the word 'perception' instead of 'gestalt'?

Or something like 'see it from a finished (or unfinished) gestalt'?

(or am I thinking too much 'gestalttherapy' here and do I miss something because of language? (being Dutch)

Answer 5

Completely different - the word means "form or shape". You're using it like "point of view"

Answer 6

What is your definition of gestalt, and what are you trying to convey with the sentence? I ask because from dictionary.com's def of gestalt, I can't even tell what you're trying to say.

Answer 7

gestalt isn't really used correctly in any of these sentences...

The Gestalt effect refers to the form-forming capability of our senses, particularly with respect to the visual recognition of figures and whole forms instead of just a collection of simple lines and curves.
