Sr. Realista estructural, tenemos un problema: la carga ontológica de las matemáticas DOI:10.5007/1808-1711.2010v14n2p201

Abstract

Abstract. The aim of this note is to undermine structural realism by testing the soundness of its main claim. If scientific theories represent the structure of the world, structural realism needs a general account of representation. Representation is the crux of structural realism, because structure/ontology distinction collapses. Mathematical structures are ontologyladen.Keywords: Structural realism, scientific representation, structure/ontology distinction, quantum theory, matrix and wave mechanics.
