Klappentext zu „Foundations of the Theory of Parthood “
This is the first book to systematically study the weak systems of mereology. In its chapters, the author critically analyzes and explains core topics related to mereology, such as parthood without antisymmetry, non-existence of the zero element, and Lesniewski's notion of class and set. The book also delves into three theories of parthood: two concern the sum existence axioms, and the third contends with transitivity of parthood. This is the first systematic analysis of systems of mereology of its kind and is suitable for students, scholars, logicians, and mathematicians who wish to further their knowledge of mereology.Original polish publication "Podstawy teorii czesci" by The Nicolaus Copernicus University Press

Pressezitat
"Pietruszczak's new book covers all vital theories within mereology ... . A number of theories have been presented for the first time. It is especially worth mentioning that Andrzej Grzegorczyk's mereological theories have been analysed, elaborated and significantly improved by Pietruszczak." (Marcin Tkaczyk, Studia Logica, Vol. 109, 2021)"Each chapter of the book is structured in a similar way and contains the basic definitions, facts and necessary discussion regarding the key notions, accompanied with new ideas and a wide reference list, followed by the author's clear and approachable style." (Branislav Boricic, zbMATH 1461.03003, 2021)
