Title: Michael Duncan
Title: On Composite Objects and Their Properties
The orthodox view of composition has it that composite objects are
numerically distinct from the objects that compose them, taken together or
separately. The rival view – composition as identity – says that composite
objects are numerically identical to the objects that compose them, taken
together. Thus, a chair is, on this view, identical to some atoms arranged
in the shape of a chair. I will argue that accepting the orthodox view is
more costly than it may initially seem. Unlike composition as identity, it
requires giving up on a natural and seemingly widely held view about what I
will call “heterogeneous properties”: properties like being black and
white, and being polka-dotted. Furthermore, all of the known alternatives
to that view face serious difficulties.
