Substantivalism and relationism as bad cartography

why spatial ontology needs a better map

Edward Slowik

pp. 185-198

Abstract

In the philosophy of space and time, the "territory" is, of course, the ontology of space and time (i.e., its nature or being), whereas the principal "map" is the substantivalism (or absolutism) versus relationism dichotomy.
