Varzi\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fascinating investigation on the borderlines of metaphysics, everyday geometry, and the theory of perception seeks to answer two basic questions: Do holes really exist? And if so, what are they? Holes are among entities that down-to-earth philosophers would like to expel from their ontological inventory. Casati and Varzi argue in favor of their existence and explore the consequences of this unorthodox approach--odd as these might appear. They examine the ontology of holes, their geometry, their part-whole relations, their identity, their causal role, and the ways we perceive them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Bradford Book\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoberto Casati is the Director of the Jean Nicod Institute and Professor at EHESS in Paris.
