A Minimalist Ontology of the Natural World - Routledge Studies in the Philosophy of Mathematics and Physics
Esfeld, Michael (University of Lausanne, Switzerland)
This book proposes an ontology of the natural world that is defined only by two axioms: (1) there are distance relations that individuate simple objects, namely matter points, and (2) the matter points are permanent, with the distances between them changing.
