Analysis of the integrativity principle consists of four sections. In the first section, I explain the context of the analysis, define the notion of metaphysics and the notion of principle, after which I propose that integrativity is the fundamental principle of being, understood both as an abstract concept and the objective reality. I argue this proposal in the second section, divided on two parts. In the first part I elaborate the need for the terms integrata, integrativ, and integrativity, as well as their interconnection. In the second part I elaborate on deeper, more complex structures, and metaphysical, ontological, and phenomenological implications of the use of integrativity. I defend the concept by using arguments devised by Immanuel Kant, Arthur Schopenhauer, Emil Lask, Martin Heidegger, Anaximander, Parmenides, and Heraclitus. In the final section, I shortly express the need to continue with the research in the field of social and political philosophy, moreover ethics and bioethics, and I outline some problems, solutions and research pathways opened by the initial proposal.
