Every Thing Must Go: Metaphysics Naturalized Ladyman James
Every Thing Must Go aruges that the only kind of metaphysics that can contribute to objective knowledge is one based specifically on contemporary science as it really is, and not on philosophers' a priori intuitions, common sense, or simplifications of science. Taking science metaphysically seriously, Ladyman and Ross argue, means that metaphysicians must abandon the picture of the world as composed of In addition to showing how recent metaphysics has drifted away from connection with all other serious scholarly inquiry as a result of not heeding this restriction, they demonstrate how to build a metaphysics compatible with current fundamental phsyics (ontic structural realism), which, when combined with their metaphysics of the special sciences (rainforet realism), can be used to unify physics with the other sciences without reducing these sciences to physics intself.
