Ontic structural realism (OSR) claims that all there is to the world is structure. But how can this slogan be turned into a worked-out metaphysics? Here I consider one potential answer: a metaphysical framework known as ‘generalism’ (Dasgupta [2009], [2016]). According to the generalist, the most fundamental description of the world is not given in terms of individuals bearing properties, but rather, general facts about which states of affairs obtain. However, I contend that despite several apparent similarities between the positions, generalism is unable to capture the two main motivations for OSR. I suggest instead that OSR should be construed as a meta-metaphysical position. 1. Introduction2. Motivations 2.1. Theory change2.2. Permutation invariance3. Metaphysics4. Generalism 4.1.

普遍主义和本体结构现实主义的形而上学

本体结构现实主义 (OSR) 声称世界上只有结构。但是，这个口号怎么能变成一套行之有效的形而上学呢？在这里，我考虑了一个可能的答案：一种被称为“泛论”的形而上学框架（Dasgupta [2009]、[2016]）。根据通才，对世界最基本的描述不是根据个人的属性给出的，而是关于获得哪些事态的一般事实。然而，我认为，尽管这些立场之间有几个明显的相似之处，但通才无法捕捉 OSR 的两个主要动机。相反，我建议将 OSR 解释为一种元形而上学的立场。1. 介绍 2. 动机 2.1。理论改变2.2。置换不变性 3．形而上学 4. 通则 4.1。量词概括4.2。代数泛化 5. 为什么通才不是本体结构现实主义6。作为形而上学的本体结构现实主义 7。结论 介绍 动机 2.1。理论改变2.2。置换不变性理论变化置换不变性形而上学通论 4.1．量词概括4.2。代数通论 量词通论 代数通论 为什么通论不是本体结构实在论本体结构实在论作为形而上学结论
