In this book, Rickles may be interpreted in a variety of ways. The ubiquity of so-called symmetries in modern physics renders them in philosophy of physics. Rickles focuses on spacetime physics, and other classical and quantum general relativity. Here are the problems that arise at the moment. Rickles argued that both traditional ontological positions should be replaced by the structuralist.

· Unified treatment of gauge symmetries and their relationship to ontology in physics
· Brings philosophy of space and time in the step with developments in modern physics
· Argues in the implications of symmetries in physics
· Provides elementary treatments of technical issues
· Illustrates a novel defense of structuralism
