Fundamental Ways the World Could Be: Challenging Metaphysical Orthodoxy

该项目通过传播尖端研究，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，培养一个知识环境，加强澳大利亚作为高等教育和国际研究人员目的地的地位。它将提供明确的研究技能培训，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的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关于我们作为世界代理人的理论以及关于我们世界的本质的理论基础和概念资源。

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.
