Plato on Parts and Wholes: The Metaphysics of Structure
Oxford University Press (2002)
| Abstract | What is the relation between a whole and its parts? The metaphysics of structure and composition is much discussed in modern philosophy; now Verity Harte provides the first sustained examination of Plato's rich but neglected discussion of the topic, and shows how it can illuminate current debates. This book is an invaluable resource both for scholars of Plato and for modern metaphysicians. | |||||||||
