部分和整体的主导理论-经典的延伸部分论-在最近的文献中面临着一些挑战。这篇文章给出了一个样本的一些所谓的反例,一些更有争议的原则,涉及生育和身份之间的联系。沿着的方式,一些主要的修正方法进行审查。首先,反例外延进行审查。的“补充”公理,产生的外延更仔细地检查,并建议修订考虑。其次,本文考虑了另一种方法,集中在反对称的责任,但允许我们保持自然的补充公理。第三,我们看看反例的幂等性的组成和相关的“部分只是一次”的原则。我们探讨了发展较弱的部分学,避免这种承诺的选择。
The dominant theory of parts and wholes – classical extensional mereology – has faced a number of challenges in the recent literature. This article gives a sampling of some of the alleged counterexamples to some of the more controversial principles involving the connections between parthood and identity. Along the way, some of the main revisionary approaches are reviewed. First, counterexamples to extensionality are reviewed. The ‘supplementation’ axioms that generate extensionality are examined more carefully, and a suggested revision is considered. Second, the paper considers an alternative approach that focuses the blame on antisymmetry but allows us to keep natural supplementation axioms. Third, we look at counterexamples to the idempotency of composition and the associated ‘parts just once’ principle. We explore options for developing weaker mereologies that avoid such commitments.
