Everything in its Place: Location, Persistence, and Change

这个项目旨在批判性地研究一些关于我们如何以及是否可以将我们对普通物体的了解与科学教给我们的关于空间、时间和自然基本组成部分的意想不到的事情相协调的说法。该项目期望在形而上学中产生新的知识，利用最近的“定位转向”来振兴关于存在和变化的长期问题。该项目的预期成果包括出版物和会议活动，发起新的国际合作，以及提高澳大利亚科学形而上学的研究能力。好处包括提高对我们在自然世界中的地位的理解，提高澳大利亚的声誉和研究技能基础。

This project aims to critically examine a number of accounts of how and if we may reconcile what we know about ordinary objects with the unexpected things science has taught us about space, time, and the fundamental building blocks of nature. The project anticipates generating new knowledge in metaphysics, exploiting the recent 'locative turn' to revitalise perennial questions about existence and change. Expected outcomes of this project include publications and conference activities, the initiation of new international collaborations, and enhanced research capability in scientific metaphysics in Australia. Benefits include improved understanding of our place in the natural world and enhancing Australia's reputation and research skill base.
