Thank Waldemar:
My book, Unified Philosophy: Interdisciplinary Metaphysics, Ethics, and Liberal Arts, Third Edition.   (Cognella)  has a first chapter redefining metaphysics as part/whole, which is the model applied to all remaining chapters. I look forward to your comments about it. 
That first chapter sees a new metaphysics, of part and whole, which is mereology.  Traditional metaphysics from positivism to existentialism is the second chapter, which I call "ontology." 
My email is [log in to unmask]    I am always looking for new teaching and research opportunities.  I am available for making presentations to groups, on my book.  My book is aimed at every student during the first year, to general education seminars or reorientation, and graduate seminars.  This is akin in many ways to a Theory of Knowledge.
Are you on a faculty member?  
Best,Michael M. Kazanjian

Hi TOK Folks, I wanted to shared that I had a great conversation with Prof Michael Kazajian yesterday. He is the author of “Unified Philosophy”. He teaches Philosophy, Ethics, and World Religion at Triton College. He authored  two other books, Phenomenology and Education (Rodopi, 1998) and Learning Values Lifelong: From Inert Ideas to Wholes (Rodopi, 2002).    He authored this blog on Unified Philosophy for the American Philosophical Association that reviews its major argument and discusses why and how we should think of philosophy as a “meta-discipline” (following Mary Midgley) and how a broad view of the field can connect analytic and the continental traditions and afford a more coherent frame for the field. He has interests in metaphysics, ontology, epistemology and ethics. I was very heartened to see how well our views were aligned. As such, I am thrilled to have him join the TOK Society and explore more linkages between philosophy and the UTOK metapsychology.    Welcome Michael!   
Best,
