This paper delves into McTaggart’s metaphysical account of reality without time, and compares and contrasts McTaggart’s account with the account of reality given by modern physics. This comparison is ...

The paper is a review of Talal Debs and Michael Redhead's 2007 book, Objectivity, Invariance, and Convention, Harvard, Harvard University Press.
ON WHAT THERE REALLY IS:EMPIRICAL REALISM BETWEEN PHYSICS AND PSYCHOLOGY
illusion physics psychology
2009/4/23
Abstract. An opposition between two conceptions of our knowledge of the external world is outlined. On the one hand physicists, like Dirac and Heisenberg, maintain that only what Physics considers rea...
Engineering rigor and its discontents: Philosophical reflection as curative to math-physics envy
philosophy-of-engineering Toulmin reflective-practice
2009/3/30
This extended abstract critically exams the use of the terms "rigorous" and "soft" in the context of engineering modeling. Common usage of the terms is contrasted with Toulmin's notion of "reasonablen...

On Mass Problem in Relativistic Mechanics and Gravitational Physics
relativistic mass proper mass gravitational force
2008/4/22
The proper mass of a test particle in General Relativity Theory (GRT) is a rest mass, so it is considered principally constant, just as in Kinematics of Special Relativity Theory (SRT). One may think ...
Particles, Objects, and Physics
indistinguishability indiscernibility permutation symmetry
2008/4/22
This thesis analyses the ontological nature of quantum particles. In it I argue that quantum particles, despite their indistinguishability, are objects in much the same way as classical particles. Thi...
It is shown that the Hilbert-Bernays-Quine principle of identity of indiscernibles applies uniformly to all the contentious cases of symmetries in physics, including permutation symmetry in classical ...
This is the table of contents and first chapter of Physics Meets Philosophy at the Planck Scale (Cambridge University Press, 2001), edited by Craig Callender and Nick Huggett. The chapter discusses th...
The paper examines critically some recently published views by Ramsey on the contrast between ab initio and parametrized theories. I argue that, all things being equal, ab initio calculations are inde...
Relational Blockworld: Radically Archimedean Physics
blockworld non-relativistic quantum mechanics
2008/4/22
We introduce a new radically Archimedean geometric (acausal and adynamical) interpretation of non-relativistic quantum mechanics (NRQM) called Relational Blockworld (RBW). We motivate the interpretati...
Simulating Many-Body Models in Physics:Rigorous Results, 'Benchmarks', and Cross-Model Justification
models model rigor rigour mathematical physics
2008/4/21
This paper argues that, for a prospective philosophical analysis of models and simulations to be successful, it must accommodate an account of mathematically rigorous results. Such rigorous results ar...
Space-time relationism in Newtonian and relativistic physics
space time relativity relationism
2008/4/21
I argue that there is a natural relationist interpretation of Newtonian and relativistic non-quantum physics. Although relationist, this interpretation does not fall prey to the traditional objections...
String Theory - From Physics to Metaphysics
quantum gravity string theory string landscape
2008/4/21
Currently, string theory represents the only advanced approach to a unification of all interactions, including gravity. In spite of the more than thirty years of its existence, the sequence of metamor...
