Abstract
I argue that the pessimistic meta-induction (PMI) seems to point an ontological priority of the relations over the objects of the scientific theories of the kind suggested by French and Ladyman (2003). My strategy will involve a critical examination of epistemic structural realism (ESR) and an historical case-study: the prediction of Zeeman's effect in Lorentz's theory of the electron.
