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. \u003cem\u003eThe Structure of Objects\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47780833493143,"sku":"9780199592517","price":4256.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780199592517.webp?v=1778048646","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-structure-of-objects-9780199592517","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
