There is, no monolithic position known as ‘structural realism,’ but there is a general convergence on the idea that a central role is to be played by relational aspects over object-based aspects of ontology. What becomes of causality in a world without fundamental objects? In this book, the foremost authorities on structural realism attempt to answer this and related questions: ‘what is structure?’ and ‘what is an object?’ Also featured are the most recent advances in structural realism, including the intersection of mathematical structuralism and structural realism, and the latest treatments of laws and modality in the context of structural realism. The book will be of interest to philosophers of science, philosophers of physics, metaphysicians, and those interested in foundational aspects of science. | 出版日期 | Book 2012 | 关键词 | Causation; Laws; Modality; Structural Realism; Structuralism | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-007-2579-9 | isbn_softcover | 978-94-007-9855-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-007-2579-9Series ISSN 1566-659X Series E-ISSN 2215-1974 | issn_series | 1566-659X | copyright | Springer Netherlands 2012 |
