Abstract

The variety of answers to the unit of selection problem threatens scientific realism both methodologically and ontologically. In this article, I argue that the account developed by Elizabeth Lloyd just solves the problem from methodological point of view and leaves the ontological side unsolved. I will show that getting rid of mereological metaphysics and replacing it with ontic structural realism solve the problem ontologically.
