Regarding the ‘Hole Argument’
British Journal for the Philosophy of Science 69 (2):329-350 (2018)
Abstract
I argue that the hole argument is based on a misleading use of the mathematical formalism of general relativity. If one is attentive to mathematical practice, I will argue, the hole argument is blocked. _1._ Introduction _2._ A Warmup Exercise _3._ The Hole Argument _4._ An Argument from Classical Spacetime Theory _5._ The Hole Argument RevisitedAuthor's Profile
