The Regularity Account of Relational Spacetime.
A version of relationism that takes spatiotemporal structures-spatial geometry and a standard of inertia-to supervene on the history of relations between bodies is described and defended. The account is used to explain how the relationist should con- strue models of Newtonian mechanics in which abso...

The account is used to explain how the relationist should con- strue models of Newtonian mechanics in which absolute acceleration manifestly does not supervene on the relations; Ptolemaic and Copernican models for example. The account introduces a new way in which a Lewis-style 'best system' might capture regularities in a broadly Humean world; a defence is given against a charge of indeterminism that applies to any such approach to laws. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: © 2019 Mind Association. item: Mind (0026-4423) holder: Oxford University Press / USA dt: @attributes: year: 2006 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
