How to account for quantum non-locality: ontic structural realism and the primitive ontology of quantum physics [PDF]
, 2014 The paper has two aims: (1) it sets out to show that it is well motivated to seek for an account of quantum non-locality in the framework of ontic structural realism (OSR), which integrates the notions of holism and non-separability that have been ...

In Defence of Ontic Structural Realism [PDF]
, 2010 In this paper we clarify how ‘epistemic’ (ESR) and ‘ontic’ structural realism (OSR) should be understood and reply to some important criticisms of the latter. We shall begin with an outline of the historical origins of what might broadly be called the ‘structuralist tendency’ within philosophy of science.

Ontic Structural Realism and Modality [PDF]
, 2011 There is good reason to believe that scientific realism requires a commitment to the objective modal structure of the physical world. Causality, equilibrium, laws of nature, and probability all feature prominently in scientific theory and explanation, and each one is a modal notion. If we are committed to the content of our best scientific theories, we

The structures are usually conceived as including a primitive modality. However, it has not been spelled out as yet what exactly that modality amounts to.

Explaining Leibniz-equivalence as difference of non-inertial appearances: dis-solution of the Hole Argument and physical individuation of point-events [PDF]
, 2006 "The last remnant of physical objectivity of space-time" is disclosed in the case of a continuous family of spatially non-compact models of general relativity (GR). The {\it physical individuation} of point-events is furnished by the intrinsic degrees of

Robust Realism for the LIfe Sciences [PDF]

International Journal of Systematic Theology, EarlyView.Abstract This paper is a response to John Betz's book, Christ, the Logos of Creation: An Essay in Analogical Metaphysics (Emmaus Academic, 2023). The essay confines itself to answering two methodological questions, namely: Does Przywara's approach to analogy indeed represent the basic form (‘Denkform’) that analogy has ‘always assumed’ in Catholic ...
