Ontic structuralism is often expressed as the claim that structure is fundamental and that there are no objects. In this talk I explain what this can mean and argue that correctly interpreted this thesis is correct. I will discuss the scientific realism debate and what we can learn about our best current science from the history of science, and also address the metaphysical implications of our best physics. Some light will be cast on structuralism in general.
