1. 1. Every Thing Must Go

   Metaphysics Naturalized

   

   This book argues that traditional, armchair metaphysics should be abandoned in favor of a metaphysics grounded in and continuous with contemporary science: rather than positing intrinsic essences and common-sense objects, we should take the ontology suggested by our best physical theories seriously, favoring relational structures, processes, and patterns over individually endowed substances. It critiques familiar metaphysical debates about objects, properties, persistence, laws, and causation, and defends a scientifically informed structural realism that reframes what exists and how metaphysical inquiry should proceed.
