English | 2014 | ISBN: 0199669619 | 256 Pages | PDF | 1 MB

Composition is the relation between a whole and its parts�Cthe 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�Cwritten by internationally renowned scholars and rising stars in the field�Cargue 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.
