However, the converse does not hold unless stronger mereological principles are assumed. In this paper I will discuss how the gap between the two notions can be filled, focussing in particular (...) |

After providing an overview of Yeo’s objections to the merger accounts of Alston and Edwards, I will summarize (...) |
