This volume brings together the lectures presented at the 5th
Metaphysics of Science Workshop held from June 2 to 3, 2005, in
Ghent, Belgium. The aim of this volume is twofold. First, it fields
a selection of ongoing discussions on a central topic in
contemporary analytical metaphysics. Authors were asked to
encapsulate their lecture topic into a precis, highlighting the
contesting views, accentuating the pro and contra of the main
arguments, and shedding light on the origin, the evolution and the
eventual offspring of a respective discussion. Second, this volume
addresses the methodological question by examining what can be
learned if we compare these discussions from a methodological
perspective. What are the red herrings and shortcomings? Is an
integrated methodology possible? Does each discussion finally await
a pluralism of plausible positions or will an overall convincing
account be expected? And finally, can analytical metaphysics
methodologically assert and investigate their basic assumptions, if
not from a common sense stance?
The present volume is part of the 'Worldviews, Science and Us'
series of proceedings. It contains selected contributions on the
subject of bridging knowledge and its implications for our
perspectives of the world. This volume also represents the
proceedings of the interdisciplinary stream of the international
workshop (Part 1) Times of Entanglement, 21-22 September 2010 at
the Minsheng Art Museum in Shanghai, People's Republic of China in
the context of the Shanghai World Expo 2010 and, related
cutting-edge investigations in the quantum paradigm from discussion
panels organized by the Leo Apostel Center for Interdisciplinary
studies within the framework of the 'Research on the Construction
of Integrating Worldviews' research community set up by the
Flanders Fund for Scientific Research. Further information about
this research community and a full list of the associated
international research centers can be found at
