Structural Realism/Offensive and Defensive Realism
, 2017 Abstract Structural realism, or neorealism, is a theory of international relations that says power is the most important factor in international relations. First outlined by Kenneth Waltz in his 1979 book Theory of International Politics, structural realism is subdivided into two factions: offensive realism and defensive realism ...

Operational Theories as Structural Realism
Studies in History and Philosophy of Science, 2022 We undertake a reconstruction of the epistemic significance of research on operational theories in quantum foundations. We suggest that the space of operational theories is analogous to the space of possible worlds employed in the possible world semantics for modal logic, so research of this sort can be understood as probing modal structure.

Structural Realism Versus Deployment Realism: A Comparative Evaluation [PDF]
Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part A, 2016 In this paper I challenge and adjudicate between the two positions that have come to prominence in the scientific realism debate: deployment realism and structural realism. I discuss a set of cases from the history of celestial mechanics, including some of the most important successes in the history of science. To the surprise of the deployment realist,

Bayesian realism and structural representation
Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2022Abstract We challenge the authors' view that Markov blankets are illicitly reified when used to describe organismic boundaries. We do this both on general methodological grounds, where we appeal to a form of structural realism derived from Bayesian cognitive science to dissolve the problem, and by rebutting specific arguments in the target article.

On the Preferability of Epistemic Structural Realism
SynthÈse, 2004In the last decade, structural realism has been presented as the most promising strategy for developing a defensible realist view of science. Nevertheless, controversy still continues in relation to the exact meaning of the proposed structuralism. The stronger version of structural realism, the so-called ontic structural realism, has been argued for on

Structural Realism Beyond Physics
Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part A, 2016The main purpose of this paper is to test structural realism against (one example from) the historical record. I begin by laying out an existing challenge to structural realism - that of providing an example of a theory exhibiting successful structures that were abandoned - and show that this challenge can be met by the miasma theory of disease ...

Abstract Chapter 12 conveys structural realism. Structural realism focuses on how the distribution of capabilities at the level of the international system impacts its propensity for conflict. States face a situation of self-help and can be expected to engage in power balancing for their own protection.
