Revisiting Poincaré’s conventionalism and anti-realism
Filosofia Unisinos, 2021 Poincaré’s philosophical conception and his contribution to the Philosophy of Science has been reconsidered since the recent rise of structural realism (SR), 18 years ago.

Ontic structural realism and the interpretation of quantum mechanics [PDF]
, 2018 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 ...

Familiar faces rendered strange: Why inconsistent realism drives characters into the uncanny valley [PDF]
, 2016 Computer-modeled characters resembling real people sometimes elicit cold, eerie feelings. This effect, called the uncanny valley, has been attributed to uncertainty about whether the character is human or living or real.

Predicting Great Power War in a Multipolar World: A Structural Realist Framework
Journal on Baltic SecurityThis article employs structural realism indicators to predict the likelihood of a great power war in today’s multipolar world. Focusing on key indicators such as changes in the balance of power, alliance systems, military expenditure, and the intensity ...

Scientific Realism and High Energy Physics [PDF]
, 2017 The paper discusses major implications of high energy physics for the scientific realism debate. The first part analyses the ways in which aspects of the empirically well-confirmed standard model of particle physics are relevant for a reassessment of ...

In Defense of Realism and Selectivism from Lyons’s Objections [PDF]
, 2019 Lyons (2016, 2017, 2018) formulates Laudan’s (1981) historical objection to scientific realism as a modus tollens. I present a better formulation of Laudan’s objection, and then argue that Lyons’s formulation is supererogatory.

The Structural Metaphysics of Quantum Theory and General Relativity [PDF]
, 2018 The paper compares ontic structural realism in quantum physics with ontic structural realism about space-time. We contend that both quantum theory and general relativity theory support a common, contentful metaphysics of ontic structural realism.

Generating realistic scaled complex networks [PDF]
, 2017 Research on generative models is a central project in the emerging field of network science, and it studies how statistical patterns found in real networks could be generated by formal rules.

Ontic Structural Realism and Natural Necessity [PDF]
, 2015 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.

Localism vs. Individualism for the Scientific Realism Debate [PDF]
, 2019 Localism is the view that the unit of evaluation in the scientific realism debate is a single scientific discipline, sub-discipline, or claim, whereas individualism is the view that the unit of evaluation is a single scientific theory.
