In this work, the author formulates a critique of widely accepted mereological assumptions, presents a new conception of wholes as ?Unities?, and demonstrates the advantages of this new conception in treating a variety of metaphysical puzzles (such as that of Tibbles the cat). More generally he suggests that conceiving wholes as Unities offers us a new way of understanding the world in non-reductive terms.
