The structural foundations of quantum gravity

Most of you surely remember the article "Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity" by Alan Sokal. He has founded a field that is literally thriving today. If you want to learn the state-of-the-art insights of this field, you should look at this book.

I am actually serious. Well, almost. :-) If you think that the book is more than rough toilet paper, you should click and buy this new book. ;-) It is full of structuralism, structural realism - especially ontic structural realism, holism, as well as quantum quandaries and background independence by two colleagues of ours. :-)
