Sobre o realismo estrutural deflacionário não-explicativo e a ontologia da física

Abstract

In this thesis I defend the concept of non-explanatory deflationary structural realism and the ontology of physics. Being a thematic approach, I analyzed the development of this science from the context of discovery and its philosophical implications that culminated in the modern debate about its status and the ontological scope of its theories. I developed this concept in order to guarantee physics its own ontological domain without the need to be linked to metaphysics or adhere to its philosophical implications, thus resulting in an alternative position to realism and anti-realism in philosophy of science.
