Mukařovski’s Concept of the Part-whole Relation in a Broader Mereological and Holistic Perspective The article discusses the structuralist perspective of Jan Mukařovský in the context of mereology – a theory concerning parts and the wholes that they form. The author traces the development of mereological thought in philosophy, from its ancient Greek beginnings, through the writing of Leibniz, towards the more modern, holistic approach exemplified by J. Ch. Smuts. The author describes Mukařovský’s vision of the structure of the literary work as an examination of the whole in terms of the structural and compositional analysis of its parts, where meaning emerges out of the individual components only when perceived from the holistic perspective of the whole. As such, Mukařovský’s theory constitutes a synthesis of mereological thinking with Hegelian idealism, and the structures of the literary work are seen to transcend the materiality of the world. (Translated from Czech by Izabela Mroczek.)
