La composizione come identità
Sciacca, Giulio
2018
Abstract
Composition is a relation that holds between pluralities of objects and particular objects. Composition seems to have many analogies with identity relation, and some philosophers suggest to consider the first a particular case of the second: in a nutshell, composition would be identity. Mereology and plural logic are needed to develop this intuition in a perspicuous way. Despite the arguments for the identity of the two relations, there are nevertheless some objections strong enough to maintain that composition and identity are two distinct relations, and they are characterized by different principles.
