P. Simons on Relativization - Dictionary of Arguments
I 90 Relativization/fundamental/term/Simons/(s): a relativized concept may be more fundamental than a unrelativized one, e.g. "part-of" relation: the perspective on molecular components of water is different from a perspective on water parts. Then this is more fundamental than identity (> Basic Concepts ). Then identity becomes a special case of part-relation. >Identity, >Part-of-relation, >Parts, >Mereology._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
