Dispositions and Powers

Beschreibung

As we understand them, dispositions are relatively uncontroversial 'predicatory' properties had by objects disposed in certain ways. By contrast, powers are hypothetical 'ontic' properties posited in order to explain dispositional behaviour. This Element analyses dispositions and how they might metaphysically explain laws of nature and modality.
