Whence ontological structural realism?
pp. 255-265
Abstract
I scrutinize (a) the alleged dichotomy between epistemic and ontological forms of structural realism, and (b) the considerations used to motivate the ontic variety over the epistemic. I argue that there's nothing in the traditional realism debate that calls for ontological structural realism.
