"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"--Publisher
