The Powers Metaphysic

ISBN: 9780198833574 出版年：2019 页码：267 Williams, Neil E Oxford University Press

Neil E. Williams develops a systematic metaphysics centred on the idea of powers, as a rival to neo-Humeanism, the dominant systematic metaphysics in philosophy today. Williams takes powers to be inherently causal properties and uses them as the foundation of his explanations of causation, persistence, laws, and modality.
