Structuralist approaches to Bohmian mechanics
2022
Synthese
Preserved Fulltext
Thus, in this paper I will show how to articulate the structuralist approach to Bohmian Mechanics accordingly to the different standard versions of OSR, and I will evaluate these alternatives. ...
Further, to characterize the nature of this structure, they appeal to the framework of Ontic Structural Realism (OSR), thereby proposing a structuralist interpretation of Bohmian mechanics. ...
Acknowledgements I am very grateful to James Ladyman, Claudio Calosi, Christian Wüthrich, David Schroeren, Kit Fine and two anonymous referees for their helpful and insightful comments on different versions ...

Structuralistic Interpretation of Alignments A structuralistic interpretation of an ontology O (see [2] ) need not consist of just one undifferentiated domain D, but may consist of several domains D 1 ...
Each of the cases specifies a (maybe empty or unsatisfiable) additional precondition in the form of domain inclusions that have to be fulfilled for the alignment to have a model in the structuralistic ...

no good way to articulate this distinction which is compatible with basic structuralist commitments. ...
Such an ontology is often presented as a response to Benacerraf's "multiple reductions" problem, or motivated on hermeneutic grounds, as a faithful representation of the discourse and practice of mathematics ...
Aside from clarifying the structuralist view, such a deflationary approach might serve to manage expectations concerning discernibility. ...

I show that by retaining Giddens' ontological focus, Sewell ends up with a notion of structure that is at its very core "anti-structuralist" or only structuralist in a weak sense. ...
To demonstrate the-insurmountable-conceptual difficulties inherent in the ontological approach, I proceed by critically examining what I consider to be the most influential attempt to resolve the ambiguities ...
Acknowledgments I would like to thank Ron Breiger, John Levi Martin, Michael Strand, and in particular the Theory and Society Ediros and reviewers for their very helpful comments and suggestions. ...

One of them, Moderate structural realism, is considered to be the most adequate due its appropriate approach to spacetime metric and moderate view of mereological simples. ...
However, it pushes the Substratum theory to dismiss primitive thisness as the only identity condition for bare particulars, but the paper argues that such elimination is a legitimate step. ...

Ontic structural realism (OSR) claims that all there is to the world is structure. But how can this slogan be turned into a worked-out metaphysics? ...
I suggest instead that OSR should be construed as a meta-metaphysical position. ...
This sort of radical holism is more akin to semantic holism than the ontological variety favored by structuralists. ...

I argue that attributing the features to an ontology of structural objects conflicts with claims often made by structuralists to the effect that their structuralist theses are versions of Quine's ontological ...
Non-eliminative structuralism attributes these features to the particular ontology of mathematics. ...
In doing so, I aim to show that it is possible to endorse the structuralist's good insights into mathematics, without being committed to a structuralist ontology. ...

In the course of these debates, constructivism as an approach in social theory emerged as a promising conception that can transcend the limitations of existing theoretical approaches deemed to be structuralist ...
On this basis, constructivism claims to be a critical conception of society, which can challenge the taken-for-grantedness of social reality, give human agency its due role, and therefore provide a non-structuralist ...
Thus, constructivism actually remains a structuralist approach and fails to present a conception of social reality as defined by the mutual constitution of structure and agency. ...
