Mereology and the Sciences Parts and Wholes in the Contemporary Scientific Context /
This volume is the first systematic and thorough attempt to investigate the relation and the possible applications of mereology to contemporary science. It gathers contributions from leading scholars in the field and covers a wide range of scientific theories and practices such as physics, mathemat...
