Quantum gravity is the name given to a theory that unites general
relativity - Einstein's theory of gravitation and spacetime - with
quantum field theory, our framework for describing
non-gravitational forces. The Structural Foundations of Quantum
Gravity brings together philosophers and physicists to discuss a
range of conceptual issues that surface in the effort to unite
these theories, focusing in particular on the ontological nature of
the spacetime that results. Although there has been a great deal
written about quantum gravity from the perspective of physicists
and mathematicians, very little attention has been paid to the
philosophical aspects. This volume closes that gap, with essays
written by some of the leading researchers in the field. Individual
papers defend or attack a structuralist perspective on the
fundamental ontologies of our physical theories, which offers the
possibility of shedding new light on a number of foundational
problems. It is a book that will be of interest not only to
physicists and philosophers of physics but to anyone concerned with
foundational issues and curious to explore new directions in our
understanding of spacetime and quantum physics.
