  As mentioned above Esfeld holds that there are things and relations but neither is ontologically primary or secondary. On this view, all the properties of individual objects are relations to other objects. This view is called ‘moderate structural realism’ by Esfeld (and Esfeld and Lam 2008, 2010 and see also their 2012). It avoids the problems with (1) above, and incorporates (2) and (3). Any version of (4) that is combined with (3) arguably makes individual entities ontologically dependent on relational structure (see (6) below).
