论文摘要

我批判性地讨论了总体相对论的“动力学方法”的两种教条,如哈维·布朗(Harvey Brown)[身体相对论(2005)牛津:牛津大学出版社]和合作者。第一个教条是提出“时空几何”对物质行为没有任何影响。第二个教条是假设“强对等原理”足以确保物质“适应”时空的几何形状。我通过讨论“时空功能主义”来总结。讨论是对詹姆斯·雷德(James Read)的最新作品的反应和同情[相对论理论中的解释,几何和阴谋》(20 ??)思考时空的。波士顿:Birkauser]。

I critically discuss two dogmas of the "dynamical approach" to spacetime in general relativity, as advanced by Harvey Brown [Physical Relativity (2005) Oxford:Oxford University Press] and collaborators. The first dogma is that positing a "spacetime geometry" has no implications for the behavior of matter. The second dogma is that postulating the "Strong Equivalence Principle" suffices to ensure that matter is "adapted" to spacetime geometry. I conclude by discussing "spacetime functionalism". The discussion is presented in reaction to and sympathy with recent work by James Read ["Explanation, geometry, and conspiracy in relativity theory"(20??) Thinking about Spacetime. Boston: Birkauser].
