/lit/ - Literature

Mandatory Saturday analytic philosophy thread. I'll start with an inspiring quote:

We have said that W is a whole relative to parts p(1),...,p(n) when the closest continuer of W need not be the sum of the closest continuers of the parts p(i), when (a) it is possible that the closest continuer of W exists yet does not contain as a part some existing closest continuer of one of the p(i)'s; or (b) it is possible that the closest continuer of W exists and contains some part q that is not a closest continuer of any of the p(i) (nor a sum or other odd carving up of these); or (c) it is possible that at some later time no continuer of W is close enough to be it, even though each of the p(i) then has a continuer close enough to be it - the parts exist at the later time but the whole does not.

Probably the most important work of political philosophy in the past 100 years.
