Plato on Parts and Wholes: The Metaphysics of Structure
Harte, Verity (Lecturer in Philosophy, Lecturer in Philosophy, King's College London)
Providing an examination of Platonic discussion of composition, this book explains its relations to modern debates. It shows how, in several late works, Plato criticizes the view that a whole is identical to its parts. It then goes on to discuss the intriguing alternative conception of wholes he offers in its place.
