The Mereology of Classes
This Element is a systematic study of the question of whether classes are composed of further parts. Mereology is the theory of the relation of part to whole, and we will ask how that relation applies to classes. One reason the issue has received attention in the literature is the hope that a clear picture of the mereology of classes may provide further insights into the foundations of set theory. We will consider two main perspectives on the mer…

Modality and Paradox
Philosophers often explain what could be the case in terms of what is, in fact, the case at one possible world or another. They may differ in what they take possible worlds to be or in their gloss of what is for something to be the case at a possible world. Still, they stand united by the threat of paradox. A family of paradoxes akin to the set-theoretic antinomies seem to allow one to derive a contradiction from apparently plausible principles. …

Which Abstraction Principles are Acceptable? Some Limitative Results
Neo-Fregean logicism attempts to base mathematics on abstraction principles. Since not all abstraction principles are acceptable, the neo-Fregeans need an account of which ones are. One of the most promising accounts is in terms of the notion of stability; roughly, that an abstraction principle is acceptable just in case it is satisfiable in all domains of sufficiently large cardinality. We present two counterexamples to stability as a sufficient…

Receptacles
In Cartwright (1975), Richard Cartwright invites us to understand by a receptacle a region of space possibly occupied by a material object.1 In this paper, I would like to discuss the question of which regions of space are receptacles. At first glance, the answer to our question would appear to be constrained by what Cartwright regarded as platitudes: Plainly, not every region is a receptacle. The null region is not; neither is any region that co…
