The present volume is the first comprehensive reference work for research on part-whole relations--or better ... a substantive part of such a project. The guiding idea, developed by Burkhardt and Seibt more than a decade ago, was to offer an inclusive presentation of contemporary research on part-whole relations that would draw out systematic, historical, and interdisciplinary trajectories, show the subject's fecundity, and inspire future explorations. In particular, the editors wants to impress that mereology is much more than the study of axiomatized reasoning systems. The relationship between part and whole is one of the most basic schemata of cognitive organization; it is not only a phenomenon at the level of language processing and propositional thought, but also at the level of sensory input processing, especially visual and auditory. In all research disciplines, part-whole relations organize all three core components of research: data domains, methods, and theories. In short, part-whole relations play a fundamental role in how we perceive and interact with nature, how we speak and think about the world and ourselves, as societies and as individuals.--From publisher.

Ce livre est un puzzle inspiré des paysages frais, limpides et ondulés de la Gruyère, où, un jour, un sage m'a demandé : "Le château sur la montagne peut-il exister si personne ne le voit ?" "Oui, j’ai vite répondu, on l’a tous appris, ce que nous savons n'est pas toujours ce que la réalité est." C’est pourquoi la « connaissance » théorique se confirme par voie expérimentale. Seulement que si la réalité, dans son essence même, était intelligence ou connaissance, comme les néoplatoniciens ont trouvé, l’inconnu deviendrait l’irréel, vide. En enquêtant sur l'existence de la cause de toutes les choses - l'origine unique - Damascius, le dernier chef de l'Académie de Platon (fermée en 529), écrit de son ineffabilité absolue : manque de position, absence réelle dans un monde intelligible ou non. Par la suite, ce vide est renversé dans un cadre théorique qui définit la causalité comme une condition globale et systémique du monde.

Structuralism is a broad intellectual movement in the humanities and social sciences that came to prominence in the 1960s. Representing the beginning of modern interdisciplinary work in what has come to be called "theory", it seeks not to explain the meaning of an object or event but to understand what made it possible. Taking as their methodological model the successes of the structural linguistics inaugurated by Ferdinand de Saussure, a group of thinkers in such fields as anthropology, literary and cultural studies, sociology and philosophy developed ambitious programs for the interdisciplinary study of the systems by which human beings make the world intelligible. Organized thematically, this four-volume collection explores the key areas of structuralism - and with a new introduction by the editor to guide the reader through the work, this is an essential collection of articles that provides a valuable research resource.
