Calculation, Bookkeeping, Representation, and Explanation
Our topic is a basic discussion of what it is to regard a bit of mathematics as referring to something physical, and the different options one has for explaining —and hence rendering non-miraculous— the empirical success of a mathematical formalism. In order to strip away as much extraneous distraction as possible, we will leave the particular case of the wavefunction in quantum theory aside and tell a simpler tale. A fairy tale, in fact. The aim…
On the status of conservation laws in physics
The Metaphysics Within Physics
What does physics tell us about metaphysics? Tim Maudlin's philosophical examination of the fundamental structure of the world as presented by physics challenges the most widely accepted philosophical accounts of laws of nature, universals the direction of time and causation.

The irrelevance of incommensurability
Buckets of Water and Waves of Space
This paper sketches a taxonomy of forms of substantivalism and relationism concerning space and time, and of the traditional arguments for these positions. Several natural sorts of relationism are able to account for Newton's bucket experiment. Conversely, appropriately constructed substantivalism can survive Leibniz's critique, a fact which has been obscured by the conflation of two of Leibniz's arguments. The form of relationism appropriate to …
