DESCRIPTION:We will explore the prospects of a mer
 eological account of proper classes. That is, we w
 ill take set theory for granted and consider the h
 ypothesis that proper classes are mereological sum
 s of their parts. Unlike the plural account of cla
 sses, for example, the hypothesis construes proper
  classes as bona fide objects, which are nonethele
 ss significantly different from sets. On the other
  hand, a mereological account raises questions of 
 its own: if proper classes are bona fide objects, 
 they should be allowed to be members and they shou
 ld each come with a singleton. But since singleton
 s are arguably mereological atoms, the account wil
 l turn out to be incompatible with classical mereo
 logy. The question is whether a weaker mereologica
 l framework may support a sufficiently rich domain
  of classes.
