Potentiality —— From Dispositions to Modality

----- 潜能：从气质到形态

ISBN: 9780198825869 出版年：2015 页码：349 Vetter, Barbara Oxford University Press

Individual objects have potentials: paper has the potential to burn; an acorn has the potential to turn into a tree. Barbara Vetter investigates the metaphysics of such potentials, and develops a dispositionalist view of metaphysical modality which takes account of contemporary developments in metaphysics, logic, and semantics.
