The Shaky Game +25, or: on locavoracity.
Taking Arthur Fine's The Shaky Game as my inspiration, and the recent 25 $${\textit{th}}$$ anniversary of the publication of that work as the occasion to exercise that inspiration, I sketch an alternative to the 'Naturalism' prevalent among philosophers of physics. Naturalism is a methodology eventu...

Naturalism is a methodology eventuating in a metaphysics. The methodology is to seek the deep framework assumptions that make the best sense of science; the metaphysics is furnished by those assumptions and supported by their own support of science. The alternative presented here, which I call 'Locavoracity,' shares Naturalism's commitment to making sense of science, but alters Naturalism's methodology. The Locavore's sense-making projects are piecemeal, rather than sweeping. The Locavore's hypothesis is that the collection of local sense-making projects fails to issue a single overarching unifying framework deserving of the title ' the metaphysics that makes the best sense of science.' I muster some examples supporting the Locavore hypothesis from the interpretation of quantum field theories. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Synthese is a copyright of Springer, 2015.
