Working parts: Reply to Mellor
Royal Institute of Philosophy Supplements 83 (62):81-106 (2008)
| Abstract | Two kinds of explanation might be put forward. The first goes like this: the necessary connection between the location of a whole and the location of its parts holds because the location of the whole is nothing but the collective location of its parts. The second style of explanation goes like this: the connection holds because what it is for a material whole to have something as a part, is (perhaps among other things) for the whole to contain the part. | |||||||||
