This page is based on the paper: Horsten_Having_an_Interpretation.pdf by L. Horsten. Arguments against some of the theses sustained by Prof. Horsten are available here Overleaf: Horsten, L. (2010), Having an Interpretation and here Remarks_on__Having_an_Interpretation_.pdf. In the same file, the second section presents consequences I derived from structuralism which I could not find in the literature.
I contacted Prof. Horsten to get clarification on the points presented and discuss my arguments, though got no answer.
Abstract
I divide the document into two sections, in the first I argue against some theses present in the article, in particular: relevance of the reference fixing question, the social theory of reference and the missing reference of unobservables in empirical structuralism. The second section contains a brief exposition of consequences in philosophy of logic which I see to follow directly from ontological structuralism but to which I did not find any reference yet.
