ABSTRACT

I draw together some recent literature on the debate between dynamical versus geometrical approaches to spacetime theories, in order to argue that (i) there exist defensible versions of the geometrical approach; (ii) these versions of the geometrical approach can provide constructive explanations (in the sense of Einstein) of dynamical effects; (iii) light can be shed upon different relationalist views about spacetime which have been articulated in the context of this debate by appeal to the distinction between modal versus non-modal relationalism.

几何建构主义和模态关系主义:动力学/几何辩论的进一步方面

摘要

我整理了一些有关时空理论的动力学方法与几何方法之间的争论的最新文献,以争辩说:(i)存在可辩驳的几何方法版本;(ii)几何方法的这些版本可以为动力学效应提供建设性的解释(就爱因斯坦而言);(iii)在这场辩论中,通过呼吁模态关系主义与非模态关系主义之间的区别,可以阐明不同的关系主义者关于时空的观点。
