Criticism of the notion of a neoclassical sum

Ariel Meirav

pp. 167-188

Abstract

Having looked at the advantages which neoclassical mereology offers as contrasted with its classical ancestor, in allowing for conditioned sums, non-unique sums, and mereologically varying sums, and in providing what might seem to be an adequate framework for accounting for traditional higher-grade notions of wholes, I now turn to consider some weaknesses of this flexible theory.
