Moderate structural realism about space-time
Michael Esfeld,Vincent Lam +1 more
TL;DR: A moderate version of metaphysical structural realism is set out, providing for a convincing understanding of space-time points in the standard tensor formulation of general relativity as well as in the fibre bundle formulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantum entanglement and a metaphysics of relations
TL;DR: In this article, a metaphysics of relations based on a characterization of quantum entanglement in terms of non-separability is proposed, which is based on the notion of holism.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Ontology of Bohmian Mechanics
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the modern formulation of Bohm's quantum theory known as Bohmian mechanics is committed only to particles' positions and a law of motion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantum Humeanism, or: physicalism without properties
TL;DR: In this article, the authors generalize the option of quantum Humeanism from Bohmian mechanics to primitive ontology theories in general, and show that this option applies also to classical mechanics.
Book ChapterDOI
Ontic Structural Realism as a Metaphysics of Objects
Michael Esfeld,Vincent Lam +1 more
TL;DR: Ontic structural realism (OSR) as discussed by the authors is a metaphysics of contemporary fundamental physics, mainly non-relativistic quantum mechanics (QM), quantum field theory (QFT) and the general theory of relativity (GTR).
