This book also examines and develops alternative ontological conceptions of space, and explores additional historical elements of seventeenth century theories and other metaphysical themes. The author first discusses the two main opposing theories of the ontology of space. One, known as substantivalism, proposes space to be an entity that can exist independently of material things. The other, relationism, contends that space is a relation among material things. Readers will learn about specific problems with this dichotomy. First, Newton and Leibniz are often upheld as the retrospective forerunners of substantivalism and relationism. But, their work often contradicts the central tenets of these views. Second, these theories have proven problematic when transferred to a modern setting, especially with regards to general relativity and the recent quantum gravity hypotheses. The author details an alternative set of concepts that address these problems. The author also develops a new classificational system that provides a more accurate taxonomy for the elements of all spatial ontologies. This classification obtains successful analogies between Newton, Leibniz, and other natural philosophers with contemporary physical theories. 410 0$aEuropean Studies in Philosophy of Science,$x2365-4228 606 $aPhilosophy and science 606 $aMetaphysics 606 $aHistory 606 $aPhilosophy of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34000 606 $aMetaphysics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E18000 606 $aHistory of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000 615 0$aPhilosophy and science. 615 0$aMetaphysics. 615 0$aHistory. 615 14$aPhilosophy of Science. 615 24$aMetaphysics. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 676 $a100 700 $aSlowik$b Edward$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01061052 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136613203321 996 $aThe Deep Metaphysics of Space$92517264 997 $aUNINA
