Numerous approaches to a quantum theory of gravity posit fundamental ontologies that
exclude spacetime, either partially or wholly. This situation raises deep questions about how …

This paper sets out a moderate version of metaphysical structural realism that stands in
contrast to both the epistemic structural realism of Worrall and the—radical—ontic structural …

This book concerns the foundations of Quantum Gravity, in particular from a conceptual point
of view. It provides a self-contained introduction to this topic, resting on particular features of …

In this ambitious study, David Corfield attacks the widely held view that it is the nature of
mathematical knowledge which has shaped the way in which mathematics is treated …

There is a philosophical tradition of arguing against presentism, the thesis that only
presently existing things exist, on the basis of its incompatibility with fundamental physics. I …

The goal of this article is to summarise the first steps in developing a fundamentally new way
of constructing theories of physics. The motivation comes from a desire to address certain …

This book offers an exploration of the relationships between epistemology and probability in
the work of Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, and Erwin Schrodinger, and in quantum …

I provide a conceptually-focused presentation of 'low-energy quantum gravity'(LEQG), the
effective quantum field theory obtained from general relativity and which provides a well …

This paper is the first in a series whose goal is to develop a fundamentally new way of
constructing theories of physics. The motivation comes from a desire to address certain deep …

In recent years, a “change in attitude” in particle physics has led to our understanding
current quantum field theories as effective field theories (EFTs). The present paper is …
