The objects we encounter in ordinary life and scientific practice
-- cars, trees, people, houses, molecules, galaxies, and the like
-- have long been a fruitful source of perplexity for
metaphysicians. The Structure of Objects gives an original analysis
of those material objects to which we take ourselves to be
committed in our ordinary, scientifically informed discourse.
Koslicki focuses on material objects in particular, or, as
metaphysicians like to call them "concrete particulars," i.e.,
objects which occupy a single region of space-time at each time at
which they exist and which have a certain range of properties that
go along with space-occupancy, such as weight, shape, color,
texture, and temperature. The Structure of Objects focuses in
particular on the question of how the parts of such objects,
assuming that they have parts, are related to the wholes which they
compose.
