عنوان مقاله [English]
In this paper, I offer a view of laws as descriptions or
analyses of fundamental dispositions. As analyses of dispositions,
laws are metaphysically necessary truths. In the first section I
explain what I mean by laws being property description. In the
second section, I consider the possibility of being some necessary
truth can be known a posteriori and I claim laws of nature have this
epistemic status. In the last two sections, I try to accommodate my
view on laws of nature with the modal intuitions about physical
necessity that have lead many to reject necessary laws.
