Ontic Structural Realism (OSR) as a book-category gathers works that defend and explore the metaphysical view that structure and relations—not individual objects or intrinsic properties—constitute the fundamental furniture of reality. These books range from technical philosophy-of-science and foundations-of-physics treatments to more accessible overviews, and typically engage with how modern physics (quantum theory, spacetime, symmetry principles) motivates a relational ontology, formal tools for representing structure (mathematics, category theory, group theory), and debates about identity, individuality, and explanation. Core topics include contrasts with epistemic structural realism, arguments for why relata may be derivative or dispensable, implications for realism/antirealism, and applications to the interpretation of physical theories. The category also includes critical responses and interdisciplinary work connecting metaphysics, logic, and physics, making it suitable for readers interested in the philosophical implications of contemporary science and the formal description of relational reality.
