Abstract
⺠In this paper we offer a frame-theoretic analysis of two rival theories of heat. ⺠The caloric and kinetic theories diverge on their ontological commitments. ⺠We examine two of the caloric theory's successful explanations. ⺠These share structure with the corresponding explanations in the kinetic theory. ⺠We argue that this result lends credence to structural realism.
