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.

However, OSR also provides a good account of the progress that has been achieved over the decades in a formalized special science, economics.

Philosophy of Science, 2011

Structuralism as a Stance

Philosophy of Physics
In this paper, I argue that ontic structural realism is best understood not as a thesis or doctrine concerning how the world fundamentally is, but rather as a “stance” in the sense of van Fraassen (2002).
