摘要: The paper discusses the invariance view of reality: a inspired by relativity and quantum theory. It is an attempt to show that both versions Structural Realism (epistemological ontological) are already embedded in but each case introduces important modifications. From we naturally arrive at consideration symmetries structures. often claimed there strong connection between reality, established symmetries. seems render frame-invariant properties real, while frame-specific illusory. But on perspectival, yet observer-free realities they too must be regarded as real although supervenient realities. Invariance perspectivalism thus two faces Symmetries also elucidate Because this recognition, more comprehensive than Realism. Referring broken coherence considerations, concludes least some ontological, not just epistemological constraints.
