A Map for the Ontological Crossroads: The Role of the Distinction Between Frameworks and Interactions in Chemistry Education
One of the biggest challenges when teaching chemistry at the elementary and secondary levels arises from the conceptual gap between the ontology of macroscopic objects and agents and an ontology where the relevant objects behind macroscopic phenomena are, in fact, inaccessible to our senses. This work employs tools from the general philosophy of science to uncover the implicit ontology of school chemistry, offering an analysis that aligns with Ta…
Structural realism and theory classification
Ontic structural realism constitutes a promising take on scientific realism, one that avoids the well‐known issues that realist stances have with underdetermination and theory change. In its most radical versions, ontic structural realism proposes a type of eliminativism about theoretical entities, ascribing ontological commitment only to the structures, and not to the objects appearing in our theories. More moderate versions of ontic structural …
Particles, fields, and the ontology of the standard model
In this work we discuss issues of ontological commitment towards one of the most important examples of contemporary fundamental science: the standard model of particle physics. We present a new form of selective structural realism, which uses as its basis the distinction between what have been called framework and interaction theories. This allows us to advance the ongoing debate about the ontological status of (quasi-)particles and quantum field…
