Even if spatial theories differ, basic principles (parts are inside wholes, wholes contain parts) remain constant across geometries, suggesting independence from substantive space-time doctrine.

No one has weighed in yet. Be the first to share reasons for or against this statement.

Independence from (a doctrine)(as used to suggest that part-whole relationships exist even if space-time theories change): The idea that something doesn't depend on or isn't determined by a particular theory or set of beliefs.
Ontology(Carnap argues this enterprise is based on a mistake): The philosophical discipline that tries to answer hard questions about what there really is.
Spatial theories(as used in discussing geometry and physics): Different ways of understanding how space works and what space actually is—kind of like how scientists keep updating their theories about the universe.
Substantive space-time doctrine(as used in discussing whether spatial relationships need specific scientific theories to be true): A theory that says space and time are real, concrete things that actually exist (rather than just being ways we measure and describe the world).
