Beschreibung
Relationalism seeks to ground all claims about the structure of space in facts about actual and possible configurations of matter. Gordon Belot elucidates the prospects for this view of the nature of space by investigating the key notion of geometric possibility in relation to philosophical notions of physical possibility.
