It is often presumed that the laws of nature have special
significance for scientific reasoning. But the laws' distinctive
roles have proven notoriously difficult to identify--leading some
philosophers to question if they hold such roles at all. This study
offers original accounts of the roles that natural laws play in
connection with counterfactual conditionals, inductive projections,
and scientific explanations, and of what the laws must be in order
for them to be capable of playing these roles. Particular attention
is given to laws of special sciences, levels of scientific
explanation, natural kinds, ceteris-paribus clauses, and physically
necessary non-laws.
