But is a whole anything distinct from its parts taken collectively? It is often said that 'a whole is nothing over and above its parts'; but what might we mean by that? Could it be that a whole just is its parts?This collection of essays is the first of its kind to focus on the relationship between composition and identity. Twelve original articles--written by internationally renowned scholars and rising stars in the field--argue for and against the controversial doctrine that composition is identity. An editor's introduction sets out the formal and philosophical groundwork to bring readers to the forefront of the debate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67890599297312,"sku":"USED0199669619","price":156.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51xBsWAHi8L.jpg?v=1792556098","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/composition-as-identity-0199669619-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
