Composition is the relation between a whole and its parts--the parts compose the whole; the whole is composed of the parts. But is a whole anything distinct from its collective parts? Could it be that a whole just is its parts? Twelve original articles argue for and against the controversial doctrine that composition is identity.
Composition is the relation between a whole and its parts--the parts are said to compose the whole; the whole is composed of the parts. But is a whole anything distinct from its parts taken collectively? It is often said that ''a whole is nothing over and above its parts''; but what might we mean by that? Could it be that a whole just is its parts?This collection of essays is the first of its kind to focus on the relationship between composition and identity. Twelve original articles--written by internationally renowned scholars and rising stars in the field--argue for and against the controversial doctrine that composition is identity. An editor''s introduction sets out the formal and philosophical groundwork to bring readers to the forefront of the debate.
