On the mathematical nature of logic,featuring P.Bernays and K.Godel
Bernays Goedel Godel Philosophy of Logic Philosophy of Mathematics
2016/6/15
The paper examines the interrelationship between mathematics and logic, arguing that a central characteristic of each has an essential role within the other. The first part is a reconstruction of and ...
Circumveiloped by Obscuritads.The nature of interpretation in quantum mechanics,hermeneutic circles and physical reality,with cameos of James Joyce and Jacques Derrida
quantum mechanics interpretation reality hermeneutics realism
2016/6/14
The quest for finding the right interpretation of Quantum Mechanics (QM) is as old as QM and still has not ended, and may never end. The question what an interpretation of QM is has hardly ever been r...
Patterns in the Fabric of Nature
space time constraints quantum classical cosmology locality nonlocality EPR
2016/5/31
From classical mechanics to quantum field theory, the physical facts at one point in space are held to be independent of those at other points in space. I propose that we can usefully challenge this o...
Einstein and Tagore,Newton and Blake,Everett and Bohr:the dual nature of reality
realism idealism quantum
2016/5/31
There are two broad opposing classes of attitudes to reality (realist vs idealist, material vs mental) with corresponding attitudes to knowledge (objective vs subjective, scientific vs romantic). I ar...

dimensional analysis conceptual change coordination class conceptual space physical constant epistemic relationships between mathematics and physics
2016/5/30
Starting, at first, from some little known but notable formal remarks made by the mathematician Gabriele Darbo about the qualitative dimensional analysis of the physical quantities, for then, above al...
Intelligent Design and the Nature of Science:Philosophical and Pedagogical Points
nature of science evolutionary biology intelligent design scientific practice values
2016/5/27
This chapter offers a critique of intelligent design arguments against evolution and a philosophical discussion of the nature of science, drawing several lessons for the teaching of evolution and for ...
Some Laws of Nature are Metaphysically Contingent
Laws of nature essentialism scientific essentialism counterfactuals
2009/9/17
Laws of nature are puzzling because they have a ‘modal character’—they seem to be ‘necessary-ish’—even though they also seem to be metaphysically contingent. And it is hard to understand how contingen...
Hypothetical metaphysics of nature
block universe eternalism incommensurability scientific realism structural realism
2009/5/6
The paper first sketches out a reply to the underdetermination challenge and the incommensurability challenge that rebuts the sceptical conclusions of these challenges and that is sufficient to lay th...
The modal nature of structures in ontic structural realism
categorical properties causal properties causation Humeanism quantum entanglement
2009/3/26
Ontic structural realism is the view that structures are what is real in the first place in the domain of fundamental physics. The structures are usually conceived as including a primitive modality. H...
Newtonian Emanation, Spinozism, Measurement, and the Baconian Origins of the Laws of Nature
Newton, Bacon, Spinoza, emanation, formal causation, laws of nature, measurement
2011/9/8
This paper investigates what Newton could have meant in a now famous passage from De Gravitatione (hereafter “DeGrav”) that “space is as it were an emanative effect of God” (21). First I offer a caref...
The Dependence of Lorentz Boost Generators on the Presence and Nature of Interactions
Lorentz Boosts Interactions Quantum Field Theory
2008/4/21
The long established but infrequently discussed dependence of Lorentz boost generators on the presence and nature of interactions is reviewed in this tutorial note. The last third of the note presents...
The rehabilitation of a metaphysics of nature

2008/4/21
The paper first sketches out a reply to the underdetermination challenge and the incommensurability challenge that rebuts the sceptical conclusions of these challenges and that is sufficient to lay th...
The singular nature of space-time
General relativity space-time singularities space-time points
2008/4/21
We consider to what extent the fundamental question of space-time singularities is relevant for the philosophical debate about the nature of space-time. After reviewing some basic aspects of the space...
On the nature of continuous physical quantities in classical and quantum mechanics
quantum mechanics physical quantities
2008/4/15
Within the traditional Hilbert space formalism of quantum mechanics, it is not possible to describe a particle as possessing, simultaneously, a sharp position value and a sharp momentum value. Is it p...
Is Structural Spacetime Realism Relationism in Disguise? The supererogatory nature of the substantivalism/relationism debate
spacetime structural realism general theory of relativity
2008/4/15
The paper defends two claims;(1) Viewed from the perspective of the substantivalism/relationism debate, structural spacetime realism (i.e., the view that spacetime is exemplified structure) is a form ...
