The Non-Fundamentality of Spacetime: General Relativity, Quantum Gravity, and Metaphysics

This book argues that our current best theories of fundamental physics are best interpreted as positing spacetime as non-fundamental. It is written in accessible language and largely avoids mathematical technicalities by instead focusing on the key metaphysical and foundational lessons for the fundamentality of spacetime.
