This book aids in the rehabilitation of the wrongfully deprecated
work of William Parry, and is the only full-length investigation
into Parry-type propositional logics. A central tenet of the
monograph is that the sheer diversity of the contexts in which the
mereological analogy emerges - its effervescence with respect to
fields ranging from metaphysics to computer programming - provides
compelling evidence that the study of logics of analytic
implication can be instrumental in identifying connections between
topics that would otherwise remain hidden. More concretely, the
book identifies and discusses a host of cases in which analytic
implication can play an important role in revealing distinct
problems to be facets of a larger, cross-disciplinary problem. It
introduces an element of constancy and cohesion that has previously
been absent in a regrettably fractured field, shoring up those who
are sympathetic to the worth of mereological analogy. Moreover, it
generates new interest in the field by illustrating a wide range of
interesting features present in such logics - and highlighting
these features to appeal to researchers in many fields.
