Grit or Gunk.Peter Forrest - 2004 - The Monist 87 (3):351-370.details This paper concerns the structure of any spatially extended things, including regions of space or spacetime. I shall use intuitions about the quantity of extended things to argue for a dichotomy: either a given finite extended thing is point-free gunk, that is, it has no points as parts, or it is made of grit, that is there are only finitely many points.

Gunky Objects in a Simple World.Kris McDaniel - 2006 - Philo 9 (1):39-46.details Suppose that a material object is gunky: all of its parts are located in space, and each of its parts has a proper part. Does it follow from this hypothesis that the space in which that object resides must itself be gunky? I argue that it does not. There is room for gunky objects in a space that decomposes without remainder into mereological simples. Download Export citation Bookmark 17 citations
