Ontic structural realism and the interpretation of quantum mechanics [PDF]
European Journal for Philosophy of Science, 2012 This paper argues that ontic structural realism (OSR) faces a dilemma: either it remains on the general level of realism with respect to the structure of a given theory, but then it is, like epistemic structural realism, only a partial realism; or it is ...

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.

Structural realism and Davidson
Synthese, 2007Structural realism is an attempt to balance the competing demands of the No Miracles Argument and the Pessimistic Meta-Induction. In this paper I trace the development of the structuralist idea through the work of one of its leading advocates, John Worrall. I suggest that properly thought through what the structuralist is offering or should be offering

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.

Syntactical Informational Structural Realism
Minds and Machines, 2018Luciano Floridi’s informational structural realism (ISR) takes a constructionist attitude towards the problems of epistemology and metaphysics, but the question of the nature of the semantical component of his view remains vexing. In this paper, I propose to dispense with the semantical component of ISR completely.

Epistemic Informational Structural Realism
Minds and Machines, 2016The paper surveys Floridi's attempt for laying down informational structural realism (ISR). After considering a number of reactions to the pars destruens of Floridi's attack on the digital ontology, I show that Floridi's enterprise for enriching the ISR by borrowing elements from the ontic form of structural realism (in the pars construens) is blighted

Melia and Saatsi on structural realism
Synthese, 2009Newman’s objection is sometimes taken to be a fatal objection to structural realism (SR). However, ambiguity in the definition of “structure” allows for versions that do not succumb to Newman’s objection. In this paper, I consider some versions of SR that maintain an abstract notion of structure yet avoid Newman’s objection.

This chapter rebuts objections to the account, dispelling concerns about taking the mathematical structures of our best physical theories seriously. It outlines further aspects of the book’s realism about structure and explains what this realism is, and what it is not, committed to.

Abstract According to Kenneth N. Waltz, a founder of the approach, Structural Realism “presents a systematic portrait of international politics depicting component units according to the manner of their arrangement.”1 States, which are deemed the major actors in world affairs, are conceived as unitary actors motivated primarily by the ...
