Quantum ontology de-naturalized: What we can't learn from quantum mechanics

Raoni Arroyo, Jonas R. Becker Arenhart

Philosophers of science commonly connect ontology and science, stating that these disciplines maintain a two-way relationship: on the one hand, we can extract ontology from scienti…

Nomic realism, simplicity, and the simplicity bubble effect

Felipe S. Abrahão, Raoni Arroyo

We offer an argument against simplicity as a sole intrinsic criterion for nomic realism. The argument is based on the simplicity bubble effect. Underdetermination in quantum founda…
