Can we repudiate ontology altogether?
Noûs, Volume 60, Issue 2, Page 264-292, June 2026.Abstract Ontological nihilists repudiate ontology altogether, maintaining that ontological structure is an unnecessary addition to our theorizing.

Philosophy Compass, Volume 21, Issue 2, March/April 2026.ABSTRACT In this article, we explore how scientific inquiry can function ideologically.

Ontic Structural Realism, Information, and Natural Necessity: Where Naturalism and Analytic Metaphysics Can Find Common Ground [PDF]
J. Ladyman (1998-2009), Ladyman and Ross (2007) refine J. Worral's (1998) structural realism (SR), by developing an ontic structural realism (OSR) which they argue is a consistently naturalistic means of characterizing the ontology of fundamental physics.
