The leg of a table is part of the table, the word "Christmas" is part of the sentence "I wish you a merry Christmas", the 13th century is part of the Middle Ages. The Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg compose Benelux, the body of a deer is composed of a huge number of cells, the Middle Ages are composed of the Early Middle Ages, High Middle Ages, and Late Middle Ages. Is there really a general theory covering every instance of parthood and composition? Is classical mereology this general theory? Are its seemingly counter-intuitive features serious defects? Mereology: A Philosophical Introduction addresses the multifaceted and lively philosophical debates surrounding these questions, and defends the idea that classical mereology is indeed the general and exhaustive theory of parthood and composition in the domain of concrete entities. Several examples of parthood and composition, involving entities of different kinds, are scrutinised in depth. Incidentally, mereology is shown to interact in a surprising way with metaontology. Presenting a well-organized and comprehensive discussion of parthood and related notions, Mereology: A Philosophical Introduction contributes to a better understanding of a subject central to contemporary metaphysics."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aWhole and parts (Philosophy) 606 $2Philosophy: metaphysics & ontology 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWhole and parts (Philosophy) 676 $a111/.82 700 $aLando$b Giorgio$0611841 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511457903321 996 $aMereology$92550440 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01222nam 2200397 n 450 001 996385216303316 005 20221108095934.0 035 $a(CKB)4940000000066630 035 $a(EEBO)2240890331 035 $a(UnM)99845881 035 $a(EXLCZ)994940000000066630 100 $a19911010d1618 uy | 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurbn||||a|bb| 200 10$aShort questions and answeares, contayning the summe of Christian religion$b[electronic resource] 210 $aImprinted at London $cAt the three Cranes in the Vintree, by Thomas Dawson$d1618 215 $a[40] p 300 $aBy Robert Openshaw. 300 $aShort version, anonymous.--STC. 300 $aSignatures: A-B C?. 300 $aReproduction of the original in the British Library. 300 $a2. 330 $aeebo-0018 606 $aCatechisms, English 615 0$aCatechisms, English. 700 $aOpenshaw$b Robert$fb. 1554 or 5.$01006764 702 $aPagit$b Eusebius$f1547?-1617, 801 0$bCu-RivES 801 1$bCu-RivES 801 2$bUk-ES 801 2$bCStRLIN 801 2$bWaOLN 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996385216303316 996 $aShort questions and answeares$92328067 997 $aUNISA
