65Representation or Construction?The Proceedings of the Twentieth World Congress of Philosophy 10 115-123. 2001.In this essay, I argue that the basic entities in the causally organized hierarchy of entities that quantum field theory describes are not particles but fields. Then I move to discuss, from the perspective of a structural realist, in what sense and to what degree this theoretical construction of fields can be taken as an objective representation of physical reality.
