HOLES IN SPACETIME: SOME NEGLECTED ESSENTIALS.

The article argues for neglected doctrines in the metaphysics of spacetime and modality by drawing on Albert Einstein's hole argument and general theory of relativity. Topics discussed include general relativity's qualitative determinism called sufficiency metric essentialism, relation of the notion...

      ab: The article argues for neglected doctrines in the metaphysics of spacetime and modality by drawing on Albert Einstein's hole argument and general theory of relativity. Topics discussed include general relativity's qualitative determinism called sufficiency metric essentialism, relation of the notion of essence to metaphysical modality, threat of necessitism, nomic possibilities of spacetime points, and modal implications of non-qualitative metric essentialism.
