商品簡介
Thinking about parts and wholes is fundamental to thinking about what exists and what structures and properties existents have. This volume presents materials that will expand our understanding of how medieval thinkers understood parts, wholes, and the constitution, identity, and individuation of objects. It consists of a substantial introduction, case studies by experts in the field, and primary sources (most translated into English for the first time). This book will be of interest to students of medieval metaphysics as well as to those who are interested in the history of mereology.
