Explanatory Problems for Mass Additivity and Dynamics
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Presento un argumento en contra de la opinión de que la aditividad de masa (la propiedad según la cual la masa de un objeto compuesto es la “suma” de la de sus partes) es metafísicamente independiente de las leyes de la dinámica que gobiernan los cuerpos masivos. En particular, considerar a la aditividad como independiente de la dinámica nos compromete con correlaciones generalizadas no explicadas entre las propiedades de masa de los compuestos y el comportamiento dinámico de los cuerpos masivos. La segunda mitad del artículo amplía esta preocupación explicativa, mostrando que las mismas consideraciones se aplican a aspectos de la estructura cuantitativa de la masa. Esto da lugar a una nueva y poderosa objeción en contra de ciertas influyentes teorías acerca de la estructura fundamental de las cantidades físicas, en particular, el realismo de la magnitud de Peacocke (2019) y las explicaciones absolutistas de segundo orden defendidas por Mundy (1987) y Eddon (2013b).
