I 171
Def Relationism: Thesis: no empty space exists.
Def Substantivalism/Field: Thesis: empty space exists.
Part-relation: exists in both.
>Space, >Absoluteness, >Motion, >Spacetime points.
I 181
Relationism/Field: makes field theory impossible - because it excludes empty space.
I 182
Putnam: Relationism can take the field as an enormous (because of the infinity of the physical forces) object. - Then for each region one part of it. - FieldVs: this trivializes the relativism.
I 183
Field theory/FT/Substantivalism/Field: for the substantivalism the field is not a gigantic object, but no entity at all.
Field theory: is for the substantivalism only the attribution of causal predicates to regions.
I 216
Problem of Quantities/FieldVsRelationism: the only way to show that there is a (narrow) spatial relation, is to assume that the double distance itself is a spatial relation.
But relationism cannot do this because it wants to define it first, and cannot presuppose it as defined.
