Antidotes all the way down?

Alexander BIRD

Abstract


This paper explores the question: can fundamental dispositions (which have no distinct causal basis) suffer from finks and antidotes? I use my response to shed light on the question: can the fundamental laws of physics be ceteris paribus laws?

Keywords


dispositions, laws, finks, antidotes, finkish dispositions, ceteris paribus laws, dispositional essentialism.
