{"product_id":"composition-as-identity","title":"Composition as Identity","description":"Composition is the relation between a whole and its parts--the parts are said to compose the whole; the whole is composed of the parts. 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?\nThis 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.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54228370719064,"sku":"9780199669615","price":96.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780199669615.jpg?v=1753899334","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/composition-as-identity","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
