Reviews
The papers in the collection provide a valuable contribution to the literature on CAI. The editors have succeeded in covering the central issues related to CAI, and taken together they are an example of a fruitful exchange between formal and philosophical theories. This collection will be of interest to those working on CAI, mereology more broadly, as well as philosophical uses of plural logic. * Cameron Gibbs, Philosophy in Review. *
This book is evidence that discussion of CAI has reached critical mass. It is a timely contribution and advances debates in meta-ontology, fundamentality, mereology, and plural logic. * A. R. J. Fisher, Philosophical Quarterly *
