The Tools of Metaphysics and the Metaphysics of Science by Theodore Sider

The Tools of Metaphysics and the Metaphysics of Science by Theodore Sider

Metaphysics has shifted ground, moving away from necessity and possibility as the lens through which we look at things. Ted Sider shapes the agenda for the subject by exploring how this shift transforms the project of understanding the objects, properties, and quantities of the universe, and the relations between them, in terms of structures.

.. Sider's arguments will surely provoke a lively discussion about the methodology of non-deflationist metaphysics and the role of tools within it. * Vassilis Livanios, University of Cyprus, International Studies in the Philosophy of Science *
This is a curious and wonderful book, formulated around a single question: how do central issues in philosophy of science look, seen through the lens of recent developments in metaphysics? . . . read it only if you enjoy good, provocative, well-written philosophy. * Mark Jago, Journal of Philosophy *
an important contribution to discussions of cutting edge topics lying at the intersection of metaphysics and the philosophies of mathematics and science * Scott Dixon, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
