Antirealism in sheep's clothing: Wave function realism and scientific realism
Raoni Arroyo, Jonas R. Becker Arenhart
Scientific realism is the philosophical stance that science tracks truth, in particular in its depiction of the world's ontology. Ontologically, this involves a commitment to the e…
Disentangling scientific realism from anti-exceptionalism
Jonas R. B. Arenhart, Raoni Arroyo, Ederson Safra Melo
Scientific realism is, currently, one of the most well-entrenched background assumptions of some relevant versions of anti-exceptionalism about logic. We argue that this is a sort…
The elimination of metaphysics through the epistemological analysis: lessons (un)learned from metaphysical underdetermination
Raoni Arroyo, Jonas R. B. Arenhart, Décio Krause
This chapter argues that the general philosophy of science should learn metaphilosophical lessons from the case of metaphysical underdetermination, as it occurs in non-relativistic…
The roads to non-individuals (and how not to read their maps)
Jonas R. B. Arenhart, Raoni W. Arroyo
Ever since its beginnings, standard quantum mechanics has been associated with a metaphysical view according to which the theory deals with non-individual objects, i.e., objects de…
Whence deep realism for Everettian quantum mechanics?
Raoni W. Arroyo, Jonnas R. B. Arenhart
`Shallow' and `deep' versions of scientific realism may be distinguished as follows: the shallow realist is satisfied with belief in the existence of the posits of our best scienti…
Realism and metaphysics in quantum mechanics
Raoni Wohnrath Arroyo, Jonas R. B. Arenhart
According to scientific realism, science gives us an approximately true description of what the world is like. But what does it mean? In this chapter, we focus on the ontological a…
Identical particles in quantum mechanics: favouring the Received View
Décio Krause, Jonas R. B. Arenhart
The so-called Received View (RV) on quantum non-individuality states, basically, that quantum particles are not individuals. It has received an amount of criticism in the recent li…
