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 “mereologicist” hypotheses and how they might be related. I argue that some of them have consequences for the debate on the “ontological innocence” of mereology. Finally, I briefly remark on their relation to criteria of logicality in terms of transformation-invariance.
