The reality of relations: the case from quantum physics [PDF]
As far as classical physics is concerned, it is possible to trace causal relations between physical objects (i.e. particles in this case) back to intrinsic properties of these objects (such as their mass and charge).

What is the ultimate nature of reality? This paper defends an answer in terms of informational realism (IR). It does so in three stages. First, it is shown that, within the debate about structural realism (SR), epistemic (ESR) and ontic (OSR) structural ...

Time, Observables, and Structure [PDF]
In this chapter I consider what recent work on background independent physics can do for structuralism, and what structuralism can do for background independent physics. I focus on the problems of time and observables in gravitational physics.

Theoretical terms and the ontic structural realism
Bu çalışmanın ana amacı bilimsel gerçekçiliğin anti-realist itirazlara rağmen hala savunmaya değer bir görüş olduğunu göstermektir, çünkü ?realist iddialar? olmadan bilim yapmak olanaklı değildir. Bu çalışmanın ikinci amacı gerçekçiliğin yeni biçimlerinin anti-realistlerin haklı itirazlarına ne derece tatminkar cevaplar verdiğinin araştırılmasıdır. Ana

IS ONTIC STRUCTURAL REALISM A VIABLE FORM OF NATURALIZED METAPHYSICS?
Às vezes o naturalismo é apresentado como uma visão de mundo geral. Na maioria das vezes quando o naturalismo é assim apresentado, ele é identificado com o fisicalismo: a visão de que tudo é físico ou em algum sentido dependente do que é físico. Mas o fisicalismo enfrenta um problema muito sério e bastante conhecido, o dilema de Hempel. O problema pode

Process Structural Realism, Instance Ontology, and Societal Order [PDF]
Whitehead’s cosmology centers on the self-creation of actual occasions that perish as they come to be, but somehow do combine to constitute societies that are persistent agents and/or patients. “Instance Ontology” developed by D.W.

Structural Realism: Continuity and its Limits [PDF]
Structural realists of nearly all stripes endorse the structural continuity claim. Roughly speaking, this is the claim that the structure of successful scientific theories survives theory change because it has latched on to the structure of the world. In

Ontic Structural Realism and Natural Necessity [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.
