Mahrad Almotahari (Edinburgh): The Reformation of Realism
Philosophers disagree about the proper way to state physicalism. For the most part, authors aim to show that physicalism is viable, that it doesn’t involve any mistake in its very conception. I embark on a similar project with respect to realism about structure. I propose a formulation in terms of the amount of truth contained in thought and speech. I then present three considerations in favor of my formulation and defend them from various objections.
