Aprašymas

This book seeks to work out which commitments are minimally sufficient to obtain an ontology of the natural world that matches all of today's well-established physical theories. The authors propose an ontology of the natural world that is defined only by two axioms: (1) there are distance relations that individuate simple objects, namely matter points, and (2) the matter points are permanent, with the distances between them changing. They work out this minimalist ontology in precise philosophical and mathematical terms, and then show how one can understand classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, and relativistic physics on the basis of this ontology.

A Minimalist Ontology of the Natural World is an example of natural philosophy or naturalized metaphysics, which treats physics and metaphysics as going together in an inseparable, seamless manner. The authors adopt an empiricist attitude by insisting on the fact that all the evidence consists in relative particle positions and motion, working out the minimal ontology that accounts for this evidence and arguing that any additional ontological commitment comes with new drawbacks instead of providing a deeper explanation. It will appeal to philosophers of science, philosophers of physics, and metaphysicians interested in questions about ontology and the natural world.
