Description

The summer school provides a thorough survey of both classical mereology and beyond. ‘Beyond’ is articulated in three different ways: by providing alternatives, strengthenings, and extensions of classical mereology. All the sessions investigate both technical details and metaphysical issues that arise from those technical details.
