The present volume is the first comprehensive reference work for research on part-whole relations.
The contributions collected here bring into view the fundamental significance of me-reology in the wide sense of the term –not only for logic or ontology, but also for philosophy of biology, chemistry, and quantum physics; for a philosophy of nature that can acco-mmodate chaos and emergence; for philosophy of art, for ethics; and for philosophy of cognition. The domain-specific investigations of part- whole relations included here may also provide useful heuristics for researchers in various scientific disciplines (e.g., cognitive science, psychology, biology, or chemistry).
The volume contains entries that explain and explore the meta-mathematical interest of formal mereology and its use for the development of nominalist descriptions of the domain of mathematical science. Other con-tributions convey the richness and complexity of our reasoning about part-whole relations, how they are linguistically encoded, and where common sense reasonining challenges the classical formalizations of part-whole rela-tionships that have informed ontological research until now. The Handbook also draws attention to the historical dimension of me-reology, including the lesser known con-tributions from the medieval period and the phe-nomenological tradition.. The Handbook’s entries are written by internationally renowned specialists but with an interdisciplinary readership in view. Most of the entries not only report the state of the art but present new original research published here for the first time.
