Exploring the nature of spatial representation, the authors delve into the relationships between objects and their locations through mereology and topology. They establish a comprehensive framework to address fundamental philosophical questions, such as the essentiality of parts to wholes and the criteria for identity based on spatial co-location. The book also examines the distinctions between material objects and events, concluding with discussions on logical movement analysis and map semantics, offering a broad perspective on spatial entities.
