Fundamental Ways the World Could Be: Challenging Metaphysical Orthodoxy

该项目通过传播前沿研究，加强了澳大利亚在形而上学领域的良好声誉。它将与领先的研究人员建立关系，并将他们的知识带到澳大利亚，营造一个智力环境，加强澳大利亚作为高等教育和国际研究人员的目的地。它将提供研究技能方面的明确培训，并为研究生提供广泛的知识。在澄清和回答具有广泛影响的关键基本形而上学问题时，它将为伦理学家、科学哲学家和科学家提供一个健全的基础和概念资源，以理论化我们作为世界的代理人，以及我们世界的本质。

This project strengthens Australia's fine reputation in metaphysics through disseminating cutting-edge research. It will build relationships with leading researchers and bring their knowledge to Australia, fostering an intellectual environment that strengthens Australia as a destination for tertiary study and international researchers. It will offer explicit training in research skills and provide wide-ranging knowledge for a postgraduate student. In clarifying and answering key fundamental metaphysical questions that have wide ramifications, it will provide a sound basis and the conceptual resources for both ethicists, philosophers of science and scientists to theorise about us as agents in the world, and about the nature of our world.
