Structural realism has rapidly gained in popularity in recent
years, but it has splintered into many distinct denominations,
often underpinned by diverse motivations. 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.
