A positivist approach to metaphysics and the philosophy of science and engineering, i.e. to the philosophy of systematic methods for understanding and manipulating the world around us.
Some fragments on metaphysics.
This page describes the bit of science in which I have a philosophical interest and links to any relevant material.

Introduction

Metaphysics
Introduction
We discuss some ideas about what "possible worlds" might be, partly to elucidate the character of logical necessity, and partly as an approach to metaphysics and the philosophy of science.
Notes on space and time and the theory of relativity.
I am at present thinking about physics from two distinct but connected points of view. I am first of all trying to understand the world, as a philosopher might, as it is described by modern physics. Secondly I am trying to understand how to formalise physics and also perhaps to make some progress towards achieving a formalisation. As befits a primarily philosophical enterprise, my conception of it is vague and fluid. This is my best attempt to present the entrprise as I think of it at present.
A philosophical discussion of metaphysical ontology.
