What fundamental account of the world is implicit in physical theory? Physics straightforwardly postulates quarks and electrons, but what of the more intangible elements, such as laws of nature, universals, causation and the direction of time? Do they have a place in the physical structure of the world? Tim Maudlin argues that the ontology derived from physics takes a form quite different from those most commonly defended by philosophers. Physics postulates irreducible fundamental laws, eschews universals, does not require a fundamental notion of causation, and makes room for the passage of time. In a series of linked essays The Metaphysics Within Physics outlines an approach to metaphysics opposed to the Humean reductionism that motivates much analytical metaphysics.

论证方式和写作风格都值得学习~~大白话写得好的人不多...
评分"[T]he proper object of most metaphysics is the careful analysis of our best scientific theories (and especially of fundamental physical theories) with the goal of determining what they imply about the constitution of the physical world."
评分三观里面的(物理)世界观没问题,虽然我觉得除了老实学习接受现当代物理学之外,形而上学没啥特别的东西好说,因而没有特别的存在的价值,但是作为一种在人文学科内倡导物理世界观的读物来看的话,本书还是可以读读的。
