The author argues that a reconstruction of scientific laws should
give an account of laws relating phenomena to underlying mechanisms
generating them, as well as of laws relating this mechanism to its
inherent capacities. While contemporary philosophy of science deals
only with the former, the author provides the concept for the
reconstruction of scientific laws, where the knowledge of the
phenomena enables one to grasp the quantity of their cause. He then
provides the concepts for scientific laws dealing with the relation
of the quantity and quality of the cause underlying phenomena to
the quality and quantity of its capacities. Finally, he provides
concepts for scientific laws expressing how a certain cause, due to
the quantity and quality of its capacities, generates the
quantitative and qualitative determinations of its manifestations.
The book is intended for philosophers of science and philosophers
of social science, as well as for natural and social scientists.
