BORGE, Bruno. EL ENFOQUE SINTÁCTICO COMO MARCO PARA EL REALISMO ESTRUCTURAL ÓNTICO. Eidos [online]. 2018, n.29, pp.279-312. ISSN 1692-8857.  https://doi.org/10.14482/eidos.29.9492.

Ontic Structural Realism (OSR) states that a realistic reading of scientific theories (especially of modern physics) requires to take structures as ontologically fundamental. Regardless of how this commitment is articulated, OSR proponents agree that the appropriate framework for developing such a position is the semantic approach to theories. I argue that, at least in aspects relevant to the formulation of OSR, the semantic approach is not superior to the syntactic one. I also show that the Received View has the necessary conceptual resources to adequately express the metaphysical commitments of OSR.

Keywords : Scientific Realism; Structural Realism; Ontic Structural Realism; structuralism; semantic approach; syntactic approach; Received View.
