{"product_id":"composition-as-identity","title":"Composition as Identity","description":"\u003cp\u003eComposition 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?This collection of essays is the first of its kind to focus on the relationship between composition\n\u003cbr\u003eand 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\n\u003cbr\u003eintroduction sets out the formal and philosophical groundwork to bring readers to the forefront of the debate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46059301044462,"sku":"9780199669615","price":164.96,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780199669615.jpg?v=1736495820","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/composition-as-identity","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
