The structuralist approaches retake the war, characteristic of ancient Greek thought, between the partisans of matter
and the ‘friends of ideas’, although they
abandon the metaphysical and ontological issues,
thus favouring the methodological aspects of
knowledge, focusing on those functions which
constitute and build up the worlds of human
culture. The present volume contains the results of the seventh Évora International Symposium in Philosophy and History of Science and Technology, entitled “Structuralism: Roots, Plurality, and
Contemporary debates” (2016)
