论文摘要
当代哲学本体论中创新的方法之一是假设基于不同形而上学的预设的多个本体学。这种预设涉及识别我们领域对象的相关特性，作为揭示其本质上的指导原则，以及基于客观或主观标准的选择偏好的效果可能是什么。背景形而上学理论在天体物理学中应用的一个了不起的例子是在检测宇宙学对象（例如超新星，星系和伽马射线爆发）中选择偏见的问题。我们将表明，意识到发现这种背景理论以更好地理解选择效果并促进科学研究中的新方法的重要性是有价值的。
One of the innovative approaches in contemporary philosophical ontology consists in the assumption of a plurality of ontologies based on different metaphysical presuppositions. Such presuppositions involve, among others, the identification of relevant properties for the objects of our domain as a guiding principle in uncovering what it is to be considered intrinsic and what could be the mere effect of selection preferences based on objective or subjective criteria. A remarkable example of the application of a background metaphysical theory in astrophysics is the problem of selection biases in detecting cosmological objects, such as supernovae, galaxies and gamma-ray bursts. We will show that it is valuable to be aware of the importance of uncovering this type of background theory to better understand selection effects and to promote a novel approach in scientific research.
