Title: Is mereology logic?

Abstract: Some philosophers have suggested that mereology is, in some sense, part of logic broadly understood. The aim of this talk is to briefly examine this idea, both in meaning and tenability. I distinguish a number of 鈥渕ereologicist鈥� hypotheses and how they might be related. I argue that some of them have consequences for the debate on the 鈥渙ntological innocence鈥� of mereology. Finally, I briefly remark on their relation to criteria of logicality in terms of transformation-invariance.
